• Lot Description
  A drawing, Flemish school of the second half of the 16th c, Ships in a storm, wash with bistre ink over faint traces of a black chalk underdrawing, on laid paper. 18 by 25 cm (7 by 9 ¾ in.) Condition: some staining, wear consistent with age. The drawing is striking as almost entirely in wash. Assignment of this artist as Flemish, as well as the dating, comes largely from marine architectural features such as the elongated stern at right and the elongation and exaggerated rake of the masts on that vessel and the one at center. The presence of the whales/dolphins at left similarly suggests a Flemish origin. Attributions to Jan Peeters or Bonaventura Peeters or their circle have been suggested.

  Condition

  Some staining, wear consistent with age
