This large-scale drawing is one of several by the Dutch artist Nicolas de Hoey depicting prophets from the Old Testament. Though created while the artist was residing in Fontainebleau, France, the composition was eventually engraved by Peter Perret (1555-1637) as part of a series illustrating sixteen prophets. The series was published in Antwerp by Philips Galle (1537-1612) in 1594. The squaring of the paper served to reduce the scale of the composition. The resulting engraving is substantially smaller.
