Woman with Pitcher in hand and young man's head

Peter Jacob Horemans was most likely a pupil of his brother, a genre painter. In youth, he was a member of the Antwerp at the Guild of Saint Luke. After moving to Germany in 1725, he became the court painter to the prince-elector of Bavaria, Charles Albrecht (Holy Roman Emperor from 1740 – 1745). Horemans was a versatile artist painting in many genres. This sketch sheet shows him working out details--the woman’s (not man's) head and the jug--that also appear in the full figure.
