Stateira en haar dochter worden naar Alexander de Grote gebracht c. 1655 - 1665

Leonaert Bramer’s "Stateira en haar dochter worden naar Alexander de Grote gebracht" (c. 1655 - 1665) is a black and white drawing depicting the biblical story of Stateira, the wife of Darius III, being brought before Alexander the Great. This scene is set in a military camp with tents in the background and features a dramatic contrast between the figures on the left, riding in a chariot, and those on the right, standing in front of a tent. The drawing is a fine example of Bramer's masterful use of line and shading to create a sense of depth and movement. The Rijksmuseum's collection features this historical work. The drawing measures 406 mm in height and 300 mm in width.
