Lot Essay
Although it is unlikely that Jacob Koninck was ever a pupil of Rembrandt, his drawing style was deeply influenced by that of the master. Most of Koninck’s works on paper are rural landscapes and studies of farm buildings like the present one. Stylistically they present affinities also with the drawings of Pieter de With, another draftsman in Rembrandt’s circle to whom the present sheet was attributed by Sumowski (op. cit., no. 2406ax).
This sheet can be compared with a drawing by the artist in the Frits Lugt Collection in Paris, Farmhouse between trees, datable to the early 1660s (inv. 220; see M. van Berge-Gerbaud, P. Schatborn, H. Buijs, Rembrandt et son école. Dessins de la collection Frits Lugt, exhib. cat., Paris, Institut Néerlandais, and Haarlem, Teylers Museum, 1997, no. 74, ill.).
