We are grateful to Gajus Scheltema who has confirmed, having examined the drawing in the original, that although it is stylistically untypical of Cats, the signature and date on the verso are indeed in his hand.
Sold together with a print by Anthonie Waterloo, showing the same unidentified castle ruins in reverse (Hollstein, vol. 26, no. 2(2)).
