View with boats on a river near a village.

Drawing, brown and black ink, watercolour, 13,5 x 22,1 cm, laid paper, unsigned (lower corners strengthened, min. loss at corners, sm. spots).

Under passe-partout.

Charming landscape drawing, inspired by the compositional models of Jan Van Goyen and his circle. The execution of the contours and the rendering of the figures, however, is less articulated than those by Van Goyen.
Prov. "P. Coulman à la Hague", probably a reference to an art dealer (ms. note in graphite on verso).
