Description

View near a gateway at La Fosse, Nantes; timber-framed cottages to left with five figures seated and standing, in the foreground a man driving a pack-ass with two dogs, a hog resting to right, a small corner turret on the gatehouse beyond. Pen and brown ink with watercolour, on ledger paper with three ruled lines; framing lines in pen and black ink. Verso: laid down on backing paper. Watermark: bunch of grapes, similar but not identical to Heawood 2136 (1616; see also Exh. London-Paris-Cambridge, 2002-3, p. 277, no. 62 [see further below]).
