metadata.value: The article analyses five drawings by the Dutch painter Pieter Quast (circa 1606–
  1647) from the collection of the State Hermitage Museum. The sheets shown are unpublished.
  They are executed in the artist’s characteristic technique: in black chalk on vellum;
  some sheets are signed and dated. They come from three different collections, four of
  the drawings came into the museum in the 18th century and one is a late acquisition and
  was purchased in 1972. The little-known master’s diverse body of work is represented in
  museum collections and private collections mainly by graphic material, including numerous
  drawings. The artist’s passion for drawing seems to have also been caused by his
  poor financial situation. Although Quast’s biography is known in fragments, published
  archival materials reveal the artist’s complex creative path. A study of his works from the
  national collection confirms their authorship and gives grounds for speculation about the
  reading of the subjects. The themes chosen by the master are inextricably linked with the
  pictorial tradition: the work of the 16th century masters, in particular Pieter Bruegel the
  Elder, and Quast’s contemporaries Adriaen Braouwer, Adriaen van Ostade and others.
  The artist relied heavily on theatrical representations, both biblical and humorous folk
  sketches, as an important source of inspiration. This research paper analyses the master’s
  drawings both in terms of iconography and using the formal and stylistic method, using
  comparative analysis and putting the works in line with the artist’s other famous works.
