EGBERT VAN DRIELST 1745 - 1818
Two Farmhouses
Pen and grey ink, grey wash
Over black chalk
Brown ink framing lines
24.0 x 37.8 cm
Monogram:        “E.V.D.”

 The inscription and datiing place the present work early in his career, a period from which few drawings are known. The style is very loose and the wash is applied freely, not showing the stiffness and almost miniaturist style of his late period.
