= 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.
- Colours faded; creased in left margin; a few restored weak spots in paper.
= The watermark strongly resembling Churchill 445 ("Dupuy 17th cent."). Artist and battle unidentified, but one of the (Dutch?) ships has a sun surrounded by rays on its stern. The sun on the stern of the Dutch battle-ship De Zon at the battle of Leghorn is not the same as the one on this ship; the flags on the other ships could not be identified with any certainty, but might be French flags.

= 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.
