Lot Essay

Andrea Busiri Vici recognized this idealized landscape with a fanciful Italian villa and verdant landscape, which had previously been attributed to Antonio Joli, as the work of Hendrik van Lint (loc. cit.). The small foreground figures engaged in incidental pursuits are characteristic of the artist.
