Head Studies of A Young Man Wearing a Hat and of a Black Man mid-17th century attributed to Lucas Franchoys the Younger Flemish This large sheet, probably a preparatory drawing for an unknown painting, contains graceful head studies of two figures: a black man looking upward and a white man wearing a hat or headdress vaguely reminiscent of a turban. In technique and figural style, the drawing compares with sheets by Lucas Franchoys the Younger, a Flemish artist who may have worked for a period of time in Rubenss studio. Particularly close are three drawings by his hand in the Hessisches Landesmuseum, Darmstadt (inv. 282), and Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (inv. RP-T-1884-A-300 and 301), all believed to date to the 1650s.[1As has been noted, the black figure at the top of the sheet, whose face appears to be strongly illuminated—the result of rubbing white chalk on the paper—brings to mind the young attendant blowing on embers in Rubenss 1609 Adoration of the Magi (Museo del Prado, Madrid).[
