Studies for 'The Conversion of the Jailer before Saint Paul and Silas', 1666, Red, black, and white chalks on buff paper, 11 1/8 x 16 5/8 in. (28.4 x 42.3 cm), Drawings, Nicolas de Plattemontagne (French, Paris 1631–1706 Paris), Nicolas de Plattemontagne's stylistic affinities with his teacher, Philippe de Champaigne, have resulted in misattributions, as seen in the inscription on this sheet. Both artists excelled in painting portraits and religious subjects, and this drawing demonstrates Plattemontagne's interest in giving portraitlike specificity to the actor's in his biblical dramas
