NOTE

These three drawings are extremely similar to a set of four views of Leiden, sold, Amsterdam, Sotheby's, 10 November 1998, lot 180. The Leiden views were initially catalogued as 'Attributed to Abraham de Haen', but prior to the sale, Leonard Kasteleyn recognised them as rare naar het leven studies by Tavenier, which he would have used as the basis for his more finished drawings and watercolours.
