Lot Essay
We are grateful to Dr. Hans-Ulrich Beck for confirming the attribution in a letter dated August 8, 1997, and for pointing out that the present lot is the left half of a panel of which the other part was previously with the Alan Jacobs Gallery, London, 1984 (see H.-U. Beck, Jan van Goyen, 1987, III, p. 170, no. 244a).
