Lot description
Drawings, grey gouache, 16 x 15,5 cm, laid paper, signed with monogram at lower left corner "B.F[ecit]".
Under passe-partout, under wooden gilt frames.
Two soldiers on horseback fighting each other with pistols or rapiers. The attribution to Bosschaert is based solely on the monogram in the lower left corner which corresponds to a similar signature mentioned by Nagler (no. 1562). No other drawings by Jeronimus Bosschaert are known, precluding comparable stylistic analysis.
