Catalogue Note
Klotz was a very accomplished landscape draughtsman with a distinctive, charming style, whose works do not perhaps enjoy the reputation that they should. In particular, his more freely executed landscape sketches, such as this example or the recently sold View of a Watermill near Maastricht,1are of excellent quality.
