This work belongs to a group of red chalk drawings recently revealed as copies after the Dutch painter Philips Wouwerman. The monogram at lower right is an imitation of Wouwerman’s genuine signature. Most drawings in this group were produced as counterproofs — when a drawing is dampened and then rubbed onto a clean sheet of paper to transfer the image in reverse. The copying technique used here, however, is puzzling, as the lines of the figures are partially raised, with the paper around them roughened by rubbing.
