On the back of the drawing in pencil are various writings including, “Van de Velde” in the upper left corner. Though the writing is considerably later than the drawing it is a solid attribution to the Van de Velde family of painters...

Given the skill shown in our drawing, the artist was likely one of these notables, perhaps even one of the Hudson River greats...
