Lot Essay

The attribution, first suggested by J. Nieuwstraten, is based on a signed drawing in the Staatliche Museen, Berlin (see E. Bock and J. Rosenberg, Die Zeichnungen Alter Meister im Kupferstichkabinett, Die niederlandischen Meister etc, 1930, I, p. 93, no. no. 565, II, pl. 72, fig. 565), which is preparatory for the present lot. Bout altered details of the landscape and staffage in the picture
