Roelant Roghman

It has been suggested that this typical example of Roghman's more lyrical style represents a view on the Zuiderzee, but no more precise location has so far been identified.  Within Roghman's extensive and varied oeuvre, his drawings on this scale fall into two clear groups:  rapidly drawn studies in pen and ink, worked up with brown wash, and more peaceful, light-filled drawings such as this, executed in black chalk and grey wash.
