By Cornelis Dusart
Located in Chicago, IL
The Large Village Fair, 1685 Etching 268 x 377 mm.; 10 1/2 x 13 1/4 inches Watermark: Arms of Amsterdam Provenance: H. Freiherr von und zu Aufsess (Lugt 2749) M. Menge (Lugt 1893a).

The Singers
By Adriaen van Ostade
Located in Chicago, IL
The Singers (4th State), 1667 Etching printed with tone 240 x 190 mm.; 9 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches Provenance: W. Benoni White (Lugt 2592) Karl Herweg (not in Lugt) References: Godefroy 19 IV/VII Hollstein 19 IV/VII Pelletier, Georgia Museum of Art, 1994: nos. 46 and 47 Notes: A very fine impression of the rare 4th state (of seven) of this major Van Ostade. Godefroy illustrates differences between this 4th state and the following 5th state. In the latter state, there are several “escaped lines”, going obliquely from left to right, directly above the central post. These lines are not visible in the 4th state. Ostade was one of the most important of the printmakers within the Rembrandt circle. His prints, avoiding religious subjects, depicted beggars, peasants and artisans. Combining great artistic sensitivity with thorough mastery of the medium of etching, Ostade etchings present a unique artistic panorama of life in seventeenth-century Holland. Pelletier (S. William Pelletier, Adrian Van Ostade...
