Vanderlyn, John, American (1775-1852) Study of the "Baptism of Christ" after Nicolas Poussin? [Sketch #2] This drawing was acquired with a known figure study by Vanderlyn of the "Baptism of Christ" after Nicolas Poussin's second series of "The Seven Sacraments" (1647). The color of the paper, dimensions, and style of execution is identical to the known study, yet the figure groupings do not seem to match the original painting. Thus the attribution of a source for which this drawing is a study is pending further research. Verso bears charcoal drawing of nude man. In fine condition.Vanderlyn often relied on his portraits and copies of master paintings to survive financially. This drawing was probably executed during one of Vanderlyn's three long periods of painting and drawing in Paris and Europe: 1796-1801; 1803-1815; 1836-1846.
