DescriptionDescription: Black and white chalk, greyish body colour, 158 x 232 mm. Tears and losses at both the upper left and the lower right corner, drying marks and brown stains. Slight foxing. The brown tone may be a preparation, but the white chalk has largely worn off and is barely noticeable. The greyish body colour on the ruins to the right, the group of people nearby and several of the animals in the foreground is also faint. Watermark: Letters BDP. Chain lines: 25 mm. The summary treatment indicates a late drawing. Similar drawings are in the Institut Néerlandais, Paris. See also the following entry. [Magnusson, Dutch Drawings no. 23]
