The Beheading of St John the Baptist
by GOSSART, Jan, Pen and black ink, heightened with white gouache, on gray-brown prepared paper, diameter 245 mm
There are several round drawings on tinted paper associated with Gossart, but this is the only one signed by the artist (at upper right). It can be related to a woodcut of D�rer, which Gossart emulated without slavishly imitating it. Because of its round shape, the drawing has been generally assumed to be a design for a stained-glass roundel.
