Catalogue Note
Pieter Cosyn (also known as the Monogrammist PC) was active in Holland around 1660 and worked in the close following of Anthonie Jansz. van der Croos, whose style the present work closely resembles. A small group of works by the artist, signed PCOSIN or as in the case of the present work signed with the artist's monogram P.C., have been identified by Beck (see H.U. Beck, Jan van Goyen, vol. IV, Doornspijk 1991, pp. 129 ff., with illustrations).
We are grateful to Dr. Hans Ulrich-Beck for tentatively confirming the attribution to Pieter Cosyn upon the basis of a colour transparency (written communication 11 May 2004).
