Lot Essay

Davies compares this drawing to one of comparable technique and size in a private collection, A.I. Davies, op. cit., no. d67, pl. 250. She dates both to the mid-1660s on the basis of their similarity to paintings of the period; such as the ex-Beith Village Scene of 1664, Davies, no. 106, pl. 106
