The present drawing is comparable in subject, technique and handling to Doomer's landscapes near the city of Rhenen on the Rhine formerly in the Van Eeghen Collection, Amsterdam, W. Schulz, Lambert Doomer, Smtliche Zeichnungen, Berlin/New York, 1974, nos. 162-3, figs. 78-9. The treatment of the foliage in black chalk in the present drawing illustrates the influence of Rembrandt, and may be compared to that in the artist's drawing of two figures overlooking the Rhine near Arnhem, now in the Hermitage, Saint Petersburg (Schulz, op. cit., no. 171, pl. 83).
All four drawings were probably done in 1663 during Doomer's journey along the Rhine on his way to the German village Bingen, where his father was born and relatives of the family still lived.
Lambert Doomer was born in Amsterdam the son of the German-born frame maker Herman Doomer (1595-1650), whose portrait by Rembrandt is now in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (Bredius 217). Rembrandt was among Herman's clients and took the young Lambert in his studio in 1644-5. Lambert is known to have copied a number of drawings by Rembrandt, and later utilized his master's motifs and compositional ideas. In 1646 he travelled with his fellow artist Willem Schellinks (see lot 368) along the Loire to Orlans, and later to Paris and the French coast. On his way he drew many views of cities and landscapes, many of which he later repeated in his better known more finished drawings and watercolours.
All four drawings were probably done in 1663 during Doomer's journey along the Rhine on his way to the German village Bingen, where his father had been born and relatives of the family still lived. Doomer's drawings became very popular and were included in large numbers in famous 18th Century Dutch collections such as those of Laurens van der Hem, Cornelis Ploos van Amstel, Jan Gildemeester, Johan Goll van Frankenstein and Jacob de Vos.
