Hieronymus Bosch drawings

List of drawings made by painter Hieronymus Bosch

List of drawings made by painter Hieronymus Bosch

This is an incomplete list of drawings by Hieronymus Bosch, many of which have survived to the present day. A number represent alternate incarnations or preparatory sketches for his paintings.

Bosch's works are generally organized into three periods of his life dealing with the early works (–1485), the middle period (–1500), and the late period ( until his death in 1516). According to Stefan Fischer, thirteen of Bosch's surviving paintings were completed in the late period, with seven surviving paintings attributed to his middle period. Bosch's early period is studied in terms of his workshop activity and possibly some of his drawings. There are no surviving paintings attributed to before 1485.

Musée du Louvre, Paris, FranceAlthough originally thought to have been a preparatory drawing for the painting *Death and the Miser*, it is now believed that the drawing was executed by a follower of Bosch.Examination of the underdrawing of the painting *Death and the Miser* reveals that Bosch shortened Death's arrow in the final version. The length of the arrow in the drawing is equal to the length of the arrow in the painting, rather than in the underdrawing.
