About this work

Virgin and Child with Saints is an oil painting made around 1435. It is credited to the Master of the Drapery Studies. The work was created for an altar and is now in the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum. The original altarpiece is lost. We only have three fragments and a drawing of the whole scene. The drawing is in Stockholm’s Nationalmuseum and was made by a follower of Rogier van der Weyden. Some scholars think that drawing may be by the Master of the Drapery Studies. You might also check out the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum.
