GOVERT FLINCK (CLEVES 1615-1660 AMSTERDAM)Minerveinscrit 'G. Flinck f'contre-épreuve de pierre noire et blanch, craie blanche sur papier bleu32,5 x 24,3 cm (12 3⁄4 x 9 5⁄8 in). Literature A. Stefes, ‘A New Backer Drawing in Bremen’, Delineavit et sculpsit, n°48, avril 2021, p. 8, fig. 5, ill. Post lot text GOVERT FLINCK, MINERVA, BLACK, WHITE AND RED CHALK ON BLUE PAPER, COUNTER-PROOF, INSCRIBEDThis drawing is in fact a counterproof after a lost drawing by Flinck, which he later heightened with white and signed. Other examples of this practice exist, including an unsigned original and signed counterproof of it at the Albertina (inv. 10211, 26220; see W. Sumowski, Drawings of the Rembrandt School, New York, 1981, no. 885, ill.). Recently rediscovered, the drawing does not seem to be related to any painting by Flinck, and was conceivably made in the context of joint drawing sessions with Jacob Backer, as suggested by Annemarie Stefes (see Literature). Indeed, a drawing of the same subject and in the same technique by Backer has recently come to light at the Kunsthalle, Bremen (inv. 73 Z; see Stefes, op. cit., passim, fig. 1).
