Hieronymus Bosch drawings

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 (c. 1470–1485), the middle period (c.1485–1500), and the late period (c. 1500 until his death). 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.^[1] Bosch's early period is studied in terms of his workshop activity and possibly some of his drawings. There are no surviving painting attributed to before 1485.

	Study of Monsters Reverse of previous.
	Beehive and witches Type: Pen and bistre Size: 192 x 270 mm Location: Albertina, Vienna
	Beggars Type: Pen and bistre Size: 285 x 205 mm Location: Albertina, Vienna It is unknown whether this drawing is by Bosch or Pieter Brueghel the Elder.
	Beggars and Cripples Type: Pen and bistre Size: 264 x 198 mm Location: Bibliothèque Royale Albert I, Brussels Like the drawing Beggars, it is unknown whether this drawing is by Bosch or Pieter Brueghel the Elder.
	Christ Carrying The Cross Type: Pen Size: 236 x 198 mm Location: Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam Formerly attributed to Bosch.
	A comical barber scene Type: Pen and brown ink on black chalk Size: 174 × 207 mm. Location: London, British Museum This sketch would later be made into an engraving by Pieter van der Heyden.
	Death of the Miser Size: 256 x 149 mm Location: Musée du Louvre, Paris Although 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. The unknown artist of the drawing also embellished details including an orthodox cross below the barrel vault. The assertion that the drawing is of Bosch's hand is used by Lynda Harris to support her theory that Bosch was a practitioner of the Cathar religion. The "Death and the Usurer" drawing is paired with a similar "Ship of Fools Drawing" which has also been erroneously attributed to Bosch.
