GERRIT VAN BATTEM (C. 1636-84)
Winter scene outside a town
RCIN 912922
This winter landscape with many figures was a pair with the work above. Van Battem’s highly finished and colourful works were popular with collectors: Yver paid 132 guilders for each of these, among the most expensive of his purchases at the van Broyel sale.
