Johann von Aachen. Salomé. 1600–1610. Germany. Black chalk and brush and gray wash, heightened with touches of white gouache, over traces of charcoal, on cream laid paper This late drawing reveals the melding of northern and southern Baroque influences that characterized the cosmopolitan court of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II (1552-1612). The drawing may relate to a painting of this subject, now lost, that was listed in the Emperor’s inventory.
