Aert Schouman (Dutch, 1710-1792) View of Dordrecht and Church of Our

Fecit 1745' l.l., inscribed 'Dordrecht' l.c., watercolour and bodycolour, 17.8 x 26.7cm; mount 40.5 x 56cm; unframed, This evocative view of Dordrecht was executed by one of the city's most prolific and important artistic sons, Aert Schouman. Amongst his many aesthetic talents, he is primarily known for his capacity as a painter of birds, of which the Fairhaven Collection remains one of the most significant in depth and breadth kept in private hands. Schouman settled in The Hague in 1748, but often returned to his city of birth and produced several views of its environs, examples of which survive at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge and the Dordrecht Museum.
