Drei Entwürfe zu einem stehenden Johannes dem Evangelisten c. 1460

This drawing, *Drei Entwürfe zu einem stehenden Johannes dem Evangelisten* (c. 1460), is a set of three studies for a standing figure of John the Evangelist. The anonymous artist was likely active in the Rhineland, as the drawing exhibits the stylistic features common to the region at the time. The artist has used delicate hatching to create the flowing robes of the figure, characteristic of the style that would become known as the "soft style" of the late Middle Ages.
