Timoclea wordt voor Alexander de Grote gebracht c. 1655 - 1665

"Timoclea wordt voor Alexander de Grote gebracht" (Timoclea is Brought Before Alexander the Great) is a drawing on paper by Dutch artist Leonaert Bramer, dating from around 1655 to 1665. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a scene from Greek history where Timoclea, a Theban woman, is brought before Alexander the Great after she had killed a soldier who was raping her. Bramer's work displays his mastery of line and detail in depicting the figures and their surroundings. This historical drawing is a fine example of Dutch art from the mid-17th century.
