Notes
Watermark: none visible through lining.
The main motif of this drawing was reproduced in reverse in a print (Hollstein, XXXIII, no. 327, repr.) that is the last of a suite of four landscape engravings by van de Velde said to be after Pieter Molijn. The print includes only the dilapidated hut of the present sheet (i.e. that portion that is incised) and not the plant study at the right.
