VARIOUS PROPERTIES

Judging from the subjects and topographical locations of the majority of the drawings in the present lot, it is likely that these were executed circa 1885-1887, when the artist travelled to Italy, France and Spain as a result of winning the prestigious Prix-de-Rome in 1884.
One of the drawings in the present lot is a study for the painting of a young acrobat, sold at Christie's Amsterdam, 23 October 2002, lot 159.
