Item Details
Description
This small drawing came from an estate with several Wenceslaus Hollar etchings. I am not sure if this was done by Hollar's hand. The top right corner seems to be repaired. What I find interesting are the subtle differences from the matching print of Elizabeth Castle done by Hollar, whereas I feel that only the artist could have known. For example, on the print which you can see in the Met Museum collection online, there are no support beams against the sea wall of the castle yet they are there in this drawing, and the shape of the small dark colored stack to the left of the tower is shaped different and more detailed than the one in the print. In this drawing, there is also slightly more detail in the buildings. This drawing is currently protected in plastic and is how I took the photos so please excuse some of the reflections. Measures 5 1/8" by 2.25"
