Sale room notice

Having seen the original, Dr. Joaneath Spicer thinks that this is quite possibly by Roelant Savery and would probably date from circa 1603, noting that the same watermark is found on Savery's drawings from this period. She will include the drawing in her forthcoming publication on the artist's drawings.
