Lot Essay

Previously attributed to J.A. Knip (1777-1847). Fransje Kuyvenhoven has kindly suggested that, this drawing may be by his son August, who is known to have worked closely with his father, and who lived with him in Italy in his younger years. He may in fact have been influenced by his father's very comparable watercolour of Monte Mario in the Museum Boymans-van Beuningen, Rotterdam, S. de Bodt and M. Sellink, Nederlandse tekeningen uit de negentiende eeuw 1 (1800-1850), exhibition catalogue, December 1994-March 1995, pp. 106-7, no. 29, illustrated. Monte Mario is located just North of Rome
