Lot Essay

De With's oeuvre has been reconstructed through the reattribution of drawings formerly given to his contemporaries by such scholars as Niemeijer, van Hasselt, Keyes and Sumowski. The present sheet was previously attributed to Philips Koninck until George Keyes linked it to a drawing of a City Wall with Tower behind a Canal formerly in the Kupferstichkabinett, Dresden, which bears de With's signature (W. Sumowski, op. cit., no. 2396).
