Specialist note

The farm shown in the present drawing is closely related to that in van Goyen's painting dated 1631 in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Carcassonne (see Beck, op. cit., II, 1973, no. 998, illustrated). This date corresponds with Beck's dating of the drawing to circa 1631 (op. cit., 1987). A copy after the present drawing is in the Musée des Beaux-Arts et d’Archéologie de Besançon (inv. 776; see Beck, op. cit., I, p. 205, under no. 615).
