Cornelis Droochsloot
(Utrecht 1640 - after 1673)
Skaters on a frozen canal with fortifications beyond,
oil on panel, 23.4 x 34.7 cm, framed
We are grateful to Luuk Pijl for confirming the attribution of the present panel to Cornelis Droochsloot on the basis of a photograph. He dates the work to the 1660s. Pijl notes that the present winter landscape, full of human activity, is typical of Droochsloot’s oeuvre. A prolific painter of town and village scenes, Droochsloot was active in Utrecht, where he trained under his father Joost Cornelisz. Droochsloot. The vibrant, snow-bound composition with its expressive and varied staffage also exudes the influence of an earlier generation of Dutch landscapists, particularly the works of Esaias van de Velde. However, typical of Cornelis Droochsloot is the scant use of shadow and the rapid execution of the figures.
