Lot Essay

In their first catalogue raisonné of Jan van de Velde's printed works (Amsterdam, 1883), Franken and van der Kellen listed one of these prints under the 'pièces douteuses' and it seems certain that they are indeed not by van de Velde. To our knowledge no other attribution has been suggested for this series so far.
