An Italian landscape with a winding river running through an idyllic valley with
an ancient ruin. Villages and castles can be seen on the mountainside and on the
river bank. The style of the drawing (e.g. the rendering of clouds and leaves) is
similar to that of the Dutch painter Pieter Dircksz. Van Santvoort (1609-1680).

framing lines, 16,1 x 20,6 cm, laid paper, unsigned (frayed at upper right corner

This drawing can be attributed with some confidence to Adriaen Verboom
(1628-1670), not only on stylistic grounds, but also because its composition is
similar to attributed drawings by Verboom in the Pushkin Museum (inv. 1101)
and a recently acquired drawing in the Teylers Museum (inv. KT 2014 038). The
sheet could also be by Claes van Berensteyn (1617-1684), who also worked in
Haarlem at the same time, and who had a similary minutely drawing style with
identical tree branches.
