J.A. Bolten, Abraham Bloemaert, The Drawings, Leiden 2007, vol. I, p. 467, no. 1586, reproduced vol. II, p. 478, fig. 1586

Engraved: B.A. Bolswert (Hollstein III, p. no. 356)

As Dr. Jaap Bolten has noted, this is the design for the nineteenth in a series of twenty etchings by Bolswert, after landscape drawings by Bloemaert. Bolten dates these to 1605-6, and compares this drawing stylistically with another, dated 1605, in the Lugt Collection.¹
