Further details

PIETER DE WITH, LANDSCAPE WITH HOUSES AND A TOWER, PEN AND BROWN INK

A pupil of Rembrandt in the early 1650s, De With is now recognised as the author of a substantial group of landscape drawings and etchings, to which this sheet is a new addition (P. Schatborn in Old Drawings, New Names. Rembrandt and his Contemporaries, exhib. cat., Amsterdam, Museum Het Rembrandthuis, 2014, nos. 43-46, ill.). Signed examples of his drawing style can be found in the Frits Lugt Collection (inv. 7877) and the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Besançon (inv. D 574; see W. Sumowski, Drawings of the Rembrandt School, X, New York, 1979, nos. 2390, 2392, ill.; and P. Schatborn, Rembrandt and his Circle. Drawings in the Frits Lugt Collection, Bussum and Paris, 2010, I, no. 161, II, ill.). Another very similar landscape is at the British Museum, London, inv. 1910,0212.191 (fig. 1; see Sumowski, op. cit., no. 2402, ill.).

We are grateful to Martin Royalton-Kisch for his help in writing this note and for confirming the attribution to De With.
