Summary:
Egbert Haverkamp-Begemann feels that this drawing is not by Jacob de Heusch, to whom it was formerly attributed. Jacob de Heusch was a student of his uncle, Willelm de Heusch, and he spent several years in Italy where he primarily painted and drew Italian landscapes with figures. Haverkamp-Begemann argues that this drawing was instead produced by a Dutch artist in the late seventeenth century.
