't Huis Kostverlooren.
réf. 91MGUB7YLZSDNetherlands 1740. Mounted in passepartout. A view in brown ink with light and dark grey watercolour washes on laid paper 16.5 x 21.5 cm with a manuscript caption at the head. Attractive view in brown ink with grey washes of the picturesque Kostverloren manor on the Amstel River just outside Amsterdam. The manor was originally built at the end of the 15th century. In 1650 it was severely damaged by fire but it was soon restored. In 1822 Kostverloren was razed. The manor was famously depicted by Rembrandt Ruisdael and also by Abraham Rademaker 1676/77-1735 one of the most important topographic artists of his day. Rademakers drawing closely matches the present view in style and shows the exact same scene from the trees on the left to the smaller house on the right. The only difference is the season: the trees depicted here are much fuller.Slightly foxed but otherwise in good condition.l Cf. Blokland & Dumas de kasteeltekeningen van Abraham Rademaker C58. unknown
