This figure has been linked to Rembrandt’s most famous etching, 'Christ Preaching' of 1647-9, known as ‘The Hundred Guilder Print’ for its spectacular price tag. In the print, a man utilizes a similar pose to indicate a crowd of infirm figures waiting to be healed by Christ. This preparatory drawing focuses on the man’s profile and distinctive gesture. Flexible lines delineate the costume and upper body, while the legs are only hastily suggested.
