This belongs to a group of eleven drawings of Dutch landscapes comparable in size, sold at Herzberger in 1967. A similar drawing of a road near Amstelveen from this group is now in the Gemeentearchief, Amsterdam (B. Bakker, E. Fleurbaay, A.W. Gerlagh, De verzameling Van Eeghen, Amsterdamse tekeningen 1600-1950, Zwolle/Amsterdam, 1988, no. 139, illustrated), which at the same sale acquired another view from the group. Others were sold, Christie's, London, 2 July 1991, lots 360-1. Bakker, Fleurbaay and Gerlagh (op.cit., p. 173) suggest the drawings from this group may have been intended as designs for wallpaper, as Jacob Cats' is known to have painted that after Goll van Franckenstein's designs. The low horizon in the drawings would seem to confirm this suggestion.
