Brondgeest, a pupil of P.G. van Os (see lots 181-2), studied 17th Century Dutch drawings in the Amsterdam collections of his time. Judging from the style and subject of the present lot, Brondgeest may well have been familiar with the work of Roelant Roghman (1627-1686), whose series of castle drawings was famous already in his time (cf. lot 91, sold in these Rooms, 11 November 1996). In 1807 he became an international art broker and in that capacity represented the Dutch collector Baron Verstolk van Soelen (cf. L. 2490 and 2501) in the Esdaile sale at Christie's in London on 17 June 1840, and handled the sale of the Collection of Count Moriz von Fries (L. 2903) in Amsterdam in 1824
