Provenance

Jeronimus Tonneman, Amsterdam, bequeathed; to his mother, Maria Tonneman, sold; [Hendrik de Leth, Amsterdam, 21 October 1754 and following days, kunstboek R, lot 41]; to [Gerhard Morell, Hamburg]. [1] [Art market, France], sold; to [Bernard Houthakker Gallery, Amsterdam], sold; [Mak van Waay, Amsterdam, 15-25 January 1974, lot 1126k, repr. p. 6]; [2] to Maida and George Abrams, Boston (L. 3306, verso, lower center); The Maida and George Abrams Collection, 2011.516. [1] In his dissertation of 1972, Wolfgang Schulz gave the Tonneman provenance to the prototype for this drawing, done during Doomer's travel years (Paris, Petit Palais, Dutuit collection, inv. no. 1107; Schultz cat. no. 202, p. 317). Frits Lugt also gave this erroneous provenance in Dessin d'ecole du Nord of 1927 (cat. no. 21). [2] Erroneously numbered as lot 1126j; as part of a portfolio of 11 drawings of views in France, especially Nantes.
