JUSTUS VAN DEN NYPOORT
Utrecht c. 1625 - after 1692
 
Interior of a farm with four drinking and smoking peasants
 
Inscribed lower left “J:vd:Nypoort. fecit.'
With on the verso an impression (not a counterproof), signed “J:vd:Nypoort fecit”
in margin, lower left.
Etching.
19.3 x 14.2 cm.
 
Provenance: W. Esdaile (L.2617); J. Camberlyn (L.514); L. Valentin (L.2498).
Literature: Hollstein 12. 1 or 2(II)
 
Extremely rare print.
The signature on recto appears to have been rubbed, and is partly inscribed with pen and ink.
On the verso, a second impression of the same print, in the same direction, only this time with a whole engraved signature.
 
This image is slightly rubbed or accidentally masked in the upper right-hand corner.
 
Most probably, this concerns a proof impression - a studio practice.
