Catalogue Note
En dépit d’une composition développée, élaborée et de la présence d’une grille de proportion qui évoque un éventuel transfert, ce dessin d’une rareté exceptionnelle de Snyders ne se rapporte à aucune des compositions des tableaux connus de l’artiste.
Despite its elaborate, developed composition, and squaring for transfer, this exceptional, rare drawing by Snyders does not relate in composition to any of the artist’s known paintings.
