Specialist note

An Zwollo attributed this drawing to Jan Frans van Bloemen on the basis of the technical and stylistic similarities with a drawing by the artist in the Louvre, Paris (Zwollo, op. cit., pp. 32-34, fig. 40). Zwollo also pointed out that the painterly quality of the rendering of the architecture and the delicate rendering of the different shades of light in the present drawing show the draughtsman's exceptional skill.
