Lot Note:
This lot is the study for Van Schendel's lost monumental canvas of the same subject measuring 131 1/2 x 96 7/8 inches (343 x 246cm).

In Van Schendel's inventory, the artist described the smaller work on March 19, 1844, giving the reason for its creation: "In order to be able to complete the large-scale work with greater accuracy or certainty."
