Anthony Jansz van der Croos, 1606/07 – um 1665,... Lot n° 823

VILLAGE STREET WITH BRANCHED TREE Oil on wood. 47 x 65 cm. In ebonized profile frame. A village street in sandy soil with marked grooves from wagon wheels lies next to a row of houses built partly in stone and partly in wood and leads towards a large town with several striking church towers. On the left is a branchy, only slightly leafy tree. A comparable view, attributed by the RKD in The Hague to Anthonie van Croos and also painted on wood (55.9 x 57 cm), shows a watercourse with riverbank buildings and overhanging branching trees, whose deciduous wood is formed in similar U-shape curves. This painting is registered at the RKD under no. 292153. (1401741) (13)
