Kloet, Pieter van der (1713-1785). Allegorical scene

Drawing in pen and grey wash, 20 x 24.3 cm (incl. the decorative trompe-l'oeil frame), signed "P. van der Kloet" in brown pen in lower left corner, dated in grey pen behind the signature, mounted at upper corners under passe-partout. Pieter van der Kloet owned the tile-factory "d'Oude Prins" in the Anjeliersstraat in Amsterdam, he is known for a number of signed tiles; our drawing might have been a preliminary drawing for a ceramic plaque.
