sale, Amsterdam, Sotheby's, 5 November 2002, lot 53

The majority of Doomer's landscape drawings represent identified locations, in most cases either along the River Loire, in France, a region that the artist documented extensively during the course of his travels there in 1645-46 (see lot 157), or in the German Rhineland, which he visited somewhat later, around 1663. The location depicted in this atmospheric, rather Rembrandtesque village view would appear to be Dutch, but remains so far unidentified.
