77 5910 Velde II J van de 1593 1641

- Soiled spots, mostly in upper corners; sl. faded; remnants of former mount on verso.

= Cf. the drawings in the Nationalmuseum Stockholm (inv./cat.nr NMH 752/1973) and in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam (RP-T-1898-A-3726). Especially the last drawing depicts the same man and also dated 1630. A drawing in the Graphische Sammlung im Städelschen Kunstinstitut, Frankfurt am Main (inv./cat.nr 3651), shows a different man, but with the exact same hat and coat, also dated 1630. In connection to these drawings it is also interesting to compare them with the print series by the artist Spigel, ofte Toneel der ydelheyd ende ongebondenheyd onser eeuwe (18 prints in total, published in 1633, i.a. Hollstein 109 and 118, showing the same man). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CXXVI.

- With numerous pinholes for copying the composition; cut in two sections and later reattached.

= With the collector's mark of Emile Wauters (Lugt 911) on recto. With watermark coat of arms with a fleur-de-lis.. Perhaps an counterproof/ Abklatsch of a drawing with added wash.

77 5924 Weenix J B 1621 ±1665 or surroundings of

= See the drawing in the British Museum with the exact same composition (inv. no. 1836,0811.591), formerly attributed to Wijck, but now by an anonymous artist. Cf. the etching by Jan Vincentsz. van der Vinne, this composition in reverse (Hollstein 26). Hollstein attributing the composition to Thomas Wijck, but the style is very reminiscent of that of Jan Baptist Weenix (see also the curator's comments on the drawing in the BM).
