Deel van schets van Kaap de Goede Hoop Possibly 1786 - 1787

This faint pencil sketch by Jan Brandes, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes, captures a fleeting moment at Cape of Good Hope. The sketch, likely made between 1786 and 1787, is a reminder of Brandes's travel sketches, which often served as the basis for his later, more finished works. The delicate lines and subtle shading, characteristic of his style, hint at a glimpse of the landscape's features. This small-scale work, measuring only 195 mm by 155 mm, is a testament to the artist's keen observation and the beauty he found in nature.
