Lot Essay

This is datable to the late 1820s. A similar landscape in the Teylers Museum, Haarlem, dated 1830, is even more refined in the details (L.J. Bol, Barend Cornelis Koekkoek, Akademie dagen XIV, 1962, fig. 2). The composition of the landscape shows a strong resemblance to those of Egbert van Drielst (1745-1818)
