Christ and the Centurion.

Drawing, pen and brown ink with brown wash, 16 x 19,5 cm, laid paper, unsigned (vertical and horizontal folding lines with small hole at crossing, some faint stains, trimmed at lower edge).

Under gilt frame.

Depiction of the Roman Centurion asking Christ to help his paralysed servant (Matt. 8:5-13). Attributed on verso to Marcellis Librechts (active 1650-1675). Since no other drawing by this pupil of Jordaens is known, this attribution cannot be confirmed.
