About the Item
The image is thought to depict St. John the Evangelist. The subject seems to be writing a letter -- or gospel. See the pen and the long scrolling paper, which earns the the character his Evangelical, gospel writing attribution. He is seated on a decorated bird, apparently an eagle. Lovely flowing robes.
Label on the back indicates the drawing was part of an exhibition at the Nassau County Museum of Art in 1994, in an exhibition titled, "From Botticelli to Matisse: Masterworks of the Guccione Collection."
Here's the current Wikipedia article on the artist: "Bloemaert was born at Utrecht, Holland. He studied with his father, Abraham Bloemaert, his brothers Hendrick and Adriaan, and his father's pupil, Gerard van Honthorst. Though originally trained as a painter, he devoted himself primarily to printmaking, which he learned from Crispijn van de Passe.[1] He went to Paris in 1630, where he made engravings from among others, Michel de Marolles's Temple des Muses, before going to Rome in 1633. His chisel can be recognised by the colors' richness and the smoothness of their transitions. Amongst his pupils were Michel Natalis and Gilles Rousselet. Some of his better known engravings are of Annibale Carracci's The Holy Family, Pietro da Cortona's Adoration of the Shepherds, and Rubens' Meleager. According to Houbraken he traveled to Rome, where he made prints of many Italian paintings. In 1659 and 1667 he did frontispiece engravings for Daniello Bartoli's Istoria della Compagnia di Gesu. He was so successful that he stayed there until receiving word that his father wished to see him once more before he died. He delayed his return so long, that his father died, so he remained in Rome until his own death. He was a member of the Bentvueghels with the nickname Winter.
