This forest scene with four large trees is
likely a copy by Jan Andrea Lievens of an almost identical drawing by his
father, Jan Lievens. That drawing is held in the Morgan Library & Museum in
New York (inv. no. III, 186) and is rendered with greater strength than the
Rotterdam version. A seventeenth-century inscription, ‘Jan Lievensz. De Jonge,’
on the verso indicates the son of Jan Lievens as the maker.
