Hendrik Croockewit (1784-1863), The Hague; van Pappelendam and Schouten, Amsterdam, 16-17 December 1874, lot 23 ('Both, A. 23. Quelques ruines près du Tibre. À l'encre de Chine').

Specialist note

Executed with brush and grey wash over a sketch in black chalk, this is typical of Wyck's later drawings. The combination of broad washes with precise brushstrokes, mainly used for the rendering of the architecture and the plants growing on it, is especially characteristic.
