Saint Luke Drawing the Virgin is an oil-on-oak panel painting by the Netherlandish artist Rogier van der Weyden. It depicts Luke the Evangelist the patron saint of artists drawing the Virgin Mary as she holds the Child Jesus. Van der Weyden likely made the painting between 1435 and 1440 for the Guild of Saint Luke in Brussels patrons to the painter. The panel was probably one of van der Weyden’s first as the City Painter of Brussels following his apprenticeship with Robert Campin.
