JAN WEENIX, PASTORAL SCENE WITH SEATED WOMEN NEAR A FOUNTAIN, BLACK CHALK, ON VELLUM

Signed and dated, this unpublished sheet is an important addition to the work of Jan Weenix. Although best known for the opulent hunting still lifes from later in his career, Weenix was also a gifted landscape painter (for an overview of his painted œuvre, see A.A. van Wegenberg-Ter Hoeven, Jan Weenix. The Paintings. Master of the Dutch Hunting Still Life, Zwolle, 2018). Some of his earliest works, dating from 1660, correspond generally to the composition presented here: Southern landscapes, in which children, shepherds and shepherdesses, cavaliers and other carefree figures dwell in the shadow of classical buildings and ruins (ibid., nos. 11-38, ill.). In this, he was inspired by the works of his short-lived father, Jan Baptist Weenix (1621-1659).
It was also Jan Baptist Weenix’s model which Jan was inspired by in the drawing presented here: several drawings in black chalk on vellum are known by the elder artist, made in the years preceding his sojourn in Italy in the mid-1640s. Dated from 1641 is a sheet in the Albertina, Vienna (inv. 9560; see P. Schatborn, Drawn to Warmth. 17th-century Dutch artists in Italy, exhib. cat., Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum, 2001, p. 110, fig. A); from 1642, one at the Kupferstichkabinett, Berlin (inv. KdZ 14491; see A. Steland, ‘Jan Baptist Weenix in Rome – 1643 bis 1647. Zur Datierung des zeichnerischen Frühwerks anhand von Signaturveränderungen’, Niederdeutsche Beiträge zur Kunstgeschichte, XXX (1994), pp. 90-91, fig. 3). A third example, undated but possibly still earlier, is also in the Albertina (inv. 9561; see Steland, op. cit., pp. 90-91, fig. 2). Obviously made as an independent work of art, and dedicated at upper right to an otherwise unidentified Mr. Monsuur, Jan Weenix may have intended his own drawing as a sensitive homage to the his recently deceased father.
