Franz Johann Heinrich Nadorp studied in Prague, but he spent much of his artistic life in Rome, where he founded a German artist union ( Kunstverein ). Known for his portraits and prints for several artist albums ( Künstleralben ), he was also an aspiring history painter. This sparely delineated, luminous drawing relates to an etching by the artist from the same period. Indeed, the Latin term Hebdoma Sancta in the inscription suggests he drew it in Rome during Holy Week.
