About This Item
Pen and ink drawing of a scenic woody landscape with two huts, a cart, a walker and two persons and a dog near the huts. The landscape and clouds are drawn with a certain flair but the small people, clearly of less importance than the landscape, are less convincing.The drawing is signed "G.P. Westenberg" which suggests the Dutch artists George Pieter Westenberg (1791-1873) and the watermark is dated 1838. However, the signature does not match the signature on other drawings of Westenberg, who mostly signed "P.G. Westenberg". It does however match with a drawing in the Fléhite Museum in Amersfoort (inv. no. 1000-730), dated 1838-1839. Perhaps these drawings were done by Westenberg's son, also named George Pieter (1829-1880).George Pieter Westenberg was a Dutch painter of landscapes and city views. Between 1838 and 1857 he was curator of paintings at the museum for contemporary art in Haarlem, after which he departed for Batavia in the Dutch East-Indies to become keeper of the privy seal. His identical named son accompanied him to Batavia and later moved to Tagal and Semarang.In good condition.l For Westenberg: Van Eijnden & Van der Willigen III, pp. 298-299 & IV, pp. 268-270; Kramm VI, p. 1844; RKD 83832.
