[AMSTERDAM]. [RADEMAKER, Abraham?]. - 't Huis Kostverlooren.[Netherlands, ca. 1700]. A view in brown ink with light and dark grey watercolour washes on laid paper (16.5 x 21.5 cm), with a manuscript caption at the head. Mounted in passepartout.

Attractive view in brown ink with grey washes of the picturesque Kostverloren manor on the Amstel River, just outside Amsterdam. The manor was originally built at the end of the 15th century. In 1650 it was severely damaged by fire, but it was soon restored. In 1822 Kostverloren was razed. The manor was famously depicted by Rembrandt, Ruisdael and also by Abraham Rademaker (1676/77-1735), one of the most important topographic artists of his day. Rademaker’s drawing closely matches the present view in style and shows the exact same scene, from the trees on the left to the smaller house on the right. The only difference is the season: the trees depicted here are much fuller.Slightly foxed, but otherwise in good condition.l Cf. Blokland & Dumas, de kasteeltekeningen van Abraham Rademaker C58.
