Jacob Symonsz Pynas - A Round Tower and Buildings
Summary
This drawing was long thought to have been made by Jacob’s older brother, Jan Pynas. The loose drawing style with a multitude of zigzag lines and dots, however, is more closely related to that of Jacob. It bears comparison, for instance, with his St Paul (also on view in this gallery).
Similar buildings piled up on a steep rock feature frequently in the background of Jacob’s paintings.
