Inscription " Martin de Vos ".
An engraving by Jan Sadeler after a drawing by Martin de Vos in the same direction as our drawing is known and represents the same composition with the exception of the details: the martyrdom of Saint James the Greater. It is therefore probably a drawing after the engraving. An old drawing. The very high general quality of the drawing and the wash, the age of the paper, which probably dates from the 16th or 17th century, and the style and technique, which are very similar to the drawings of Martin de Vos himself, point to an attribution to the entourage of Martin de Vos at the end of the 16th century or the beginning of the 17th century.
The subject is known to be part of the series of martyrdoms of saints drawn by Martin de Vos and whose engravings have remained famous. The story of Saint James the Greater is that of one of the apostles closest to Jesus, along with Saint John and Saint Peter. His martyrdom is recounted in the Acts of the Apostles: "He (Herod) killed James, the brother of John, with the sword", at the time of Peter's arrest. He was therefore beheaded, just like Saint Paul, another famous subject by Martin de Vos.
