"Engel" (Angel) is a 1541 drawing by Gerrit Boels, designed as a fragment for a stained glass window commemorating Joris van Egmond, Bishop of Utrecht from 1535-1559. The drawing depicts a winged angel, a common motif in religious art, and likely represents the angel's role in divine protection or guardianship of the bishop. The detailed rendering of the angel's clothing, armor, and the architectural background showcase Boels' skillful hand and his keen eye for detail. The drawing, likely created as a preliminary study for the final stained glass window, offers a glimpse into the creative process of a 16th-century artist.
