= Rare sketch on the history of the sperm whale near Zandvoort. Two groups claimed the ownership of the sperm whale, basing their argument on customary law at sea that dead whales were possession of those that staked the first claim. This specific whale was displaced from its original stranding place (where it had been claimed by the first group) by strong winds in combination with a flood and was then claimed by a second group of claimants. The bailiff in charge judged that right of salvage and not sea laws prevailed, which meant that neither of the two groups had any claiming rights and the proceeds of the sale had to go to the States of Holland. Provenance: the collection Jan Severijnse and later A.M. van den Broek, w. his collector's stamp on verso.

= Provenance: the collection Jan Severijnse and later A.M. van den Broek, mostly w. his collector's stamp on verso. This is (a part of) the original collection of drawings assembled by Jan Severijnse, who maintained frequent contact with contemporaries, including most likely the artists represented in this lot. The collection is quite diverse in quality, it comprises relatively skillful drawings as well as rather naive sketches. The drawings mainly show Dutch (military) men or woman in their daily attire at work. The collection also comprises i.a. portraits of Russian soldiers and a full-length portrait of the artist J.P. Visser Bender. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CXI.

= Artist from Rhenen (see https://oudrhenen.nl/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Oud-Rhenen-2016-1.pdf on the Volhard family and the artist). In 1808 two large series of drawings of Surinam birds and insects by this artist were auctioned in the collection of Mr. J. van Buren (The Hague, B. Scheurleer, november 1808, no.54 and 55). It is uncertain if the artist ever went to Surinam or if he copied these drawings from other works. According to the article in Oud Rhenen he created a collection of heraldic drawings in 1770 in Rhenen. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CXII.
