This drawing, a study for the young Frans Rubens in a painting of Hélène Fourment and her children now in the Louvre Museum, Paris, is thought to be an eighteenth-century copy after a lost drawing by Rubens. The drawing was possibly made by the same artist as another copy after Rubens in the British Museum, London. A counterproof of the present drawing is also in the museum's collection (inv. no. V 62). All three drawings belonged to the British collector Jonathan Richardson the Elder (1665-1745).
