This drawing was done after a drawing by Rubens, which is also in the Museum Boijmans (inv. no. V 52). It is a detail study for a lost painting of the Crowning with Thorns. There are also four other drawn compositional studies for it and three painted variations of it by Van Dyck. He based it on a painting of the same subject by Titian, the Venetian artist he admired, in which a similar kneeling fgure is depicted in the foreground.
