Lot Essay

This exceptionally well-preserved drawing is close in size (24.1 x 37.3 cm) and composition to a drawing by Henstenburgh in the Teylers Museum, Haarlem (inv. U4; A.M. Zaal, exhib. cat., 1991, Hoorn, Westfries Museum, p. 5, fig. 4). Furthermore, the central part of the composition is particularly close to that in an upright drawing previously in the Van Pallandt collection.
