The name inscribed on this atmospheric and appealing drawing may well signify an attribution to the Flemish painter of Italianate port scenes, Casper van Eyck (1613-1673), who worked in Antwerp, Brussels, Genoa and Madrid. The tiny handful of drawings attributed to this artist, such as a sheet in the Metropolitan Museum¹, do not, however, resemble this drawing very closely in style or subject-matter.
