[1] In his dissertation of 1972, Wolfgang Schulz gave the
Tonneman provenance to the prototype for this
drawing, done during Doomer's travel years (Paris,
Petit Palais, Dutuit collection, inv. no. 1107; Schultz cat.
no. 202, p. 317). Frits Lugt also gave this erroneous
provenance in Dessin d'ecole du Nord of 1927 (cat. no.
21).
[2] Erroneously numbered as lot 1126j; as part of a
portfolio of 11 drawings of views in France, especially
Nantes.
