Catalogue Note
La composition est basée sur une esquisse que van Goyen aurait probablement réalisé au milieu des années 1640, sûrement dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux (Beck Z 660, vendu à Amsterdam, Christie’s 10 décembre 2014, lot 213). On retrouve une composition similaire dans un autre dessin daté de 1653 (Beck Z 423).
The composition is based on a sketch that van Goyen made, probably in the mid-1640s, perhaps in the southern Netherlands (Beck Z 660, sold Amsterdam, Christie’s, 10 December 2014, lot 213). Another drawing, dated 1653, is also very similar in composition (Beck Z 423).
