| View of a village with travellers at a well (The approach to a village) |
||||
| Etching and drypoint Signed in margin left: “S de Vliegher”. 18.7 x 28.1 cm. trimmed on the platemark. Watermark: Foolscap. |
||||
| Provenance: W. Koller, Vienna (†1872, L.2632). Literature: Bartsch 9. Hollstein, 9 (III/III). De Vlieger was one of many Dutch seventeenth-century artists that travelled to Italy. The village shown here, with its large, archivolted ruins, could well have been the sort of Mediterranean villages the artist encountered on his travels. A good impression of the third and final state of the print, on seventeenth-century paper. Some flattened folds and spots seen verso. Rare. |
