The Schiedam Gate at Delft
by BISSCHOP, Jan de, Graphite, pen and brush and brown ink, 95 x 159 mm
By using deep brown washes that contrasts sharply with the colour of the paper, the amateur draftsman De Bisschop creates an impression of sunlight. This Italianate-like picture shows the influence of De Bisschop’s master, the Italianate painter Bartholomeus Breenbergh.
