Jan Hackaert (1629-85)
Travellers and animals on a hilly road, cut through the hillside, with buildings above and a lake below
-
A drawing of a landscape with a tree dominating the foreground, and a road curving to the left overlooked by buildings on higher ground. A similar compostion recurs both in a painting in the National Gallery of Scotland (912; Burke, pl. 28), and, in reverse, in an etching (Hollstein, III, p. 161, no.8) by Jan Both, which no doubt were the source for this drawing; signed with the artist's initials, lower right.
Provenance
Lot D196 in the Abraham van Broyel sale of October 1759, where attributed to Jan Hackaert; bought by Pieter Yver (fl.92 with D195); first recorded in a Royal Collection inventory of c.1810 (possibly Inv. A, p. 120: '8. By different Masters, J. Hackaert, d'Atlar de Huis'; or p. 115: 'twelve of Various, imitating the Stile of Claud & Gaspar')
