Lot description
Drawing, pen and brown ink, with grey wash, 19,5 x 28 cm, thick laid paper, unsigned (some brown water stains at left edge, some minor brown spots).
Stuck by upper corners to passe-partout.
Nice composition with castle ruins and a bridge at the right and a large ship with an English flag at the left. In the foreground a group of men (soldiers?) are approaching the coast in a cutter. The drawing technique of combining detailed pen with wash, recalls the Dutch maritime draughtmen of the late 17th century.
