Pen and brown ink and brown and reddish wash, over traces of black chalk

An accomplished and atmospheric view of the Dutch countryside, this drawing is by the same distinctive hand as two that were formerly on the art market1, and two more in Berlin, which Wolfgang Schulz and K.G. Boon attributed to Hillegaert2 - an artist otherwise best known for his painted battle scenes.
