MONOGRAMMISTE PW (PIETER WILLEMSZ. [VAN DER STOCK]?) (ACTIVE AMSTERDAM C. 1593-AFTER 1650), INTERIOR OF A MANSION WITH A TABLE, OIL ON PANEL

This depiction of an imaginary interior is striking in its poetic emptiness. It is similar to other interior scenes given to an artist known as the ‘Monogrammist PW’ (see for instance, anonymous sale, London, Sotheby's, 6 July 2017, lot 130). Though this might refer to a number of Dutch artists, the most plausible hypothesis identifies him as Pieter Willemsz. (van der Stock?), a name found in various Amsterdam inventories between 1636 and 1651, in which ‘architectural perspectives’ by a Pieter Willemsz. were listed, sometimes specified as being without figures (see A. Bredius, Kùnstler-Inventare, The Hague, 1917, p. 958). His works are, however, not always devoid of staffage, ones have appeared on the art market with the figures painted by other Dutch artists such as Willem Duyster (1599-1635) (see anonymous sale, Sotheby's, Paris, 27 June 2013, lot 17) or Hendrick Pot (1580-1657).
