Watermark | Hand, surmounted by a trefoil (vH, ?P, 57x17 mm, in the centre of the right half of the roundel, very difficult to distinguish on a lightsheet because of the thick preparation layer, which, however, crumbles along the contours of the watermark and thus reveals it when seen by normal light, under the large cup held by the boy pouring wine), similar to Briquet 11464-11467 (Lorraine, doc. a.o. in Brussels 1530-34, Maastricht 1516 and 1540, Bruges 1555-58). The same type of watermark is found in two drawings formerly attributed to Patinir, also in Museum Boymans (inv. nos. N 15 and N 143). [AE] [for an image click thumbnail above the 'zoom in' option] |
