- Paper remnants of former mount in corners and along edges on verso.
= On laid paper with watermark of a bunch of Grapes. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XCVIII.
- Faded, especially upper half; old horizontal fold (w. small hole).
= The pieces of paper are quite thick paper, perhaps late 17th century. With a very doubtful attribution to Claude Lorrain in pencil on verso.
- Vague horizontal fold; some repaired tears; some old creases/ soiling (mainly on verso).
- Somewhat browned and duststained; tipped onto mount.
= Perhaps surrroundings of Simon Vouet. On laid paper with foolscap watermark. From the collection of C.P. van Eeghen (1880-1968) with his collector's mark (Lugt 6016) on verso, by descent to the present owners.
- Foxed; tipped onto a 17th/ 18th cent. mount, which in turn is tipped to a later 19th cent. mount, w. sm. creases in the corners.
= With an annotation in French on verso of the later 19th cent. mount, linking this drawing to Claude Lorrain. The drawing is reminiscent of his compositions of ships in heavy storms. With an unidentified collector's mark on the mount (not found in Lugt) showing a lyre.
- Leaf somewhat dustsoiled; sl. stained in upper part, mostly visible on verso.
= On laid paper with Grapes watermark. With the collector's mark of Lodewijk Houthakker in lower right corner on recto. Provenance: B. Weinreb, Houthakker and present owner. Fuhring, Design into art.

The arched opening with the herms on either side and the double ionic columns is associated with the designs Rubens made for his Antwerp house. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XCVIII.
