Though this drawing was formerly attributed to Adriaen van de Venne, comparison with that artist's very characteristic drawings, such as lot 119 in this sale, shows a different hand at work.
Much more similar in style are several spirited and imaginative small-scale drawings by David Vinckboons, made for elements in the decorative surrounds to maps, notably the Novissima Ac Exactissima Totius Orbis Terrarum, one of the largest and most celebrated world maps of the 17th Century, which was engraved by Hendrik Hondius, and published by Pieter Serwouters in 1634. The drawings by Vinckboons that can be related to this map project are in various collections, including two in that of Clement C. Moore.1
