Item Details
Description
  • Title:Meindert Hobbema or After “The Old Water Mill” Dutch Old Master Oil on Cradled Panel Painting
  • Description: Titled “The Old Water Mill” by or after the renowned Dutch artist Meindert Hobbema. A Dutch Golden Age painter known for his landscapes, Hobbema derived his specialty during his time as the star pupil of the era’s pre-eminent landscape and woodland painter Jacob van Ruisdael. Hobbema himself went on to greatly influence other world-renowned artists, most notably John Constable who himself led his own revolution of the landscape painting genre, and who also composed many –and some of the most famous- depictions of water mills and Hobbema-esque landscapes. Approximately six years ago the estate from which this painting hails was given a verbal estimate, pending inspection, by Sotheby’s in the $600,000-$900,000 range; however when their department was re-contacted upon removal of the work from the estate, the representative informed the estate the work was still under research as to whether by the master’s hand. When a second effort was made to inquire as to the authentication, Sotheby’s said the status of their research was unchanged. We give this work a strong attribution.
