Abigail
<p>Maarten van Heemskerck, a prolific draftsman and etcher and the leading proponent of the Mannerist School in Haarlem, spent a decisive period in Rome from 1532 to 1536. This drawing shows the influence of Michelangelo's heroic forms. Pricked for transfer to a metal plate, it is one of six designs he made for an engraved series of <em>Good Women of the Old Testament.</em></p>
