Beschrijving lot
Drawing, pen and brown ink, 16,8 x 25,2 cm, laid paper, unsigned (some min. foxing).
Stuck under passe-partout, under wooden gilt mod. frame (not studied outside of frame).
Skillful drawing of a worn-down farm house in a Dutch summer landscape with a willow and a girl in the left foreground. A pair of farmers has returned from the field in the shadowy background. The style approaches the rustic landscapes of A. Bloemaert (1564-1651) in its rendering of the tree leaves and the cross-hatching in order to create depth and volume.
