Description
Circle of Willem Cornelisz. Duyster,
Dutch 1599-1635-
Officer examining the loot;
oil on panel, cradled, 59 x 50.5 cm.
Provenance:
HRW Ellerman, Berlin, 1955.
Anon. sale, Sotheby's, Amsterdam, 8 May 2001, lot 87.
Property from a European Private Collection.
Note:
The present work is by an artist heavily influenced by Duyster's genre scenes depicting soldiers at rest, also known as 'guardroom scenes', or 'cortegaarddje'. Indeed, the figure standing to the right of the composition, with his hands on his hips as he looks down to inspect something below him, bears a striking resemblance to a figure depicted by Duyster in a painting which sold at Sotheby's, London, on 8 May 2019, lot 27. The present work contrasts the rich, elaborate costume of the guardsman with dark, unadorned surroundings in a manner which is also typical of Duyster's approach.
