    Signed and dated lower left.

    The landscapepainter, etcher and lithorapher P.J. Lutgers (1808-1874) lived most of his life in Loenen aan de Vecht. Over a period of thirty years he made many drawings of the scenery of the river Vecht.
    In 1836 he published lithographs of his drawings in a book titled 'Gezichten aan de rivier de Vecht' (Views of the river Vecht). The original print of this book is also for sale at Kunsthandel Pygmalion. This watercolour is a preliminary study of the lithograph of this manorhouse in the book.
