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 paintings attributed to before 1485.

 | Infernal Landscape | Pen and brown ink | 25.9 x 19.7 cm | Private Collection | Infernal Landscape was previously thought to have been made by an assistant in the workshop of Hieronymus Bosch, but has been authenticated as a piece by the master himself by the Bosch Research and Conservation Project (BRCP). The BRCP is an international art history study that has been researching, analyzing and documenting the oeuvre of the medieval master since 2010. |

 | A comical barber scene | Pen and brown ink on black chalk | 174 × 207 mm. | London, British Museum | This sketch would later be made into an engraving by Pieter van der Heyden. |
 | Death of the Miser | 256 x 149 mm | 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. | |
