Note du spécialiste

Jan Anthonie was trained by his father, Dirk Langendijk, who specialised in battle scenes. The drawings by father and son are so close in execution that they are often only distinguishable by their signatures. The present sheet is a particularly nice example of the son's work, showing a market in Rotterdam with the Laurenskerk to the left. A comparable view showing the St. Laurens church, executed in watercolour, is in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, and two further views of Rotterdam were sold at Christie's, New York, 15 January 1992, lots 163-164.
