Abstract(s)
The contribution is devoted to the authorship of a drawing with the subject of the Beheading of St Catherine from the collection of Jiří Karásek ze Lvovic, saved today in the Museum of Literature of the National Literature Memorial. Based on a comparison with a drawing of a similar subject and composition, the author of the article has come to the view that Karásek's drawing can be attributed to the Augsburg painter Johann Matthias Kager (1566-1634) and may be considered one of the preparatory compositional studies for the now defunct altarpiece in the presbytery of the Dominican convent in Augsburg.
