Lot Essay
The lively opportunities that a kermesse offered to an artist were obviously appreciated by ten Cate, as attested by his numerous drawings of the subject. A particularly closely related drawing, both in subject and execution, signed and dated 1840 is in the Rijksmuseum (inv. no. RP-T-1921-169). However, this version reverses the composition of the present one, with the inn appearing on the left, and includes a commedia dell'arte style performance to the right. The present drawing was originally part of an album put together by Florentine Jacobine Martine Ontijd and Jonkheer Cornelis Anthony Rethaan Macaré between 1840 and 1860, which mostly included work by contemporary artists.

Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
Executed on wove paper, hinged to its mount with two strips of tape at the upper edge of the verso. The paper remains in generally good condition and the media are clear and strong. There has been some very slight discolouration to the paper. At the upper centre edge the paper is stained as a result of previous acidic tape having been applied to the sheet, a portion of which remains attached to the verso. There is some staining to the sheet in the sky above the building to the right. A couple of tiny stains are also present. Unframed.
