After Rembrandt - Mid 19th Century Pen and Ink Drawing Landscape with Obelisk

Description

A copy of the pen and ink drawing produced by Rembrandt c.1650. In 1624 the city of Amsterdam erected the obelisk pictured here to mark its expanded boundary along the Spaardammerdijk River toward the town of Haarlem. Rembrandt romanticized the view of the relatively barren landscape, adding features and making the obelisk appear considerably larger than it actually was.This is a mirrored copy of the original. Well presented in a cream card mount. Unsigned. On wove.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and foxing.
