Attributed to Abraham Danielsz. Hondius (1625-1691). Wild Boars, circa 1672, pen and brown ink and grey wash on laid paper, inscribed ‘Hondius’ in pencil lower right, inscribed in pencil verso ‘By – Hondius / a Dutchman and very curious / (supposed to be), JBB' (?), and inscribed on the mount ‘From an album, bought at Ipswich in 1939, / which carried a crest of the Barlow family / and seems at this time to have belonged to Thomas Churchyard / I.A.W.’, sheet 14.3 x 17 cm (slightly unevenly trimmed at bottom), mounted, glazed and framed (53 x 37 cm) (Quantity: 1) Provenance: Barlow Family (from an album decorated with the family crest); the artist Thomas Churchyard (1798-1865) of Woodbridge in Suffolk; purchased in Ipswich in 1939 by Iolo Aneurin Williams (1890-1962), collector and author of Early English Watercolours and Some Cognate Drawings by Artists born not later than 1785 (London: Connoisseur, 1952). The drawing appears to be Hondius’ design for his etching dated 1672 Wild Zwijn, or Wild Boar, measuring the same as our drawing, 14 by 17 cm, from the series Verschillende Dieren, or Diverse Animals (Hollstein, catalogue no. 7). An impression of the print is held by the Rijksmuseum, Museum no. RP-P-1907-2776, who note that the etching was made after Hondius’ own design.
