Original Description:
From a collection near Avignon (Vaucluse, South of France), is this impressive large size Dutch drawing, dating back to the mid 17th century.

The present drawing, executed in pen, ink and grey wash on laid paper, shows an Italianate landscape, depicting the Pyramid of Cestius, situated in Rome near the Porta San Paolo (the ancient fortifications are clearly visible).  On the Via Ostiensis, there is a traveller left, a woman entering a building and another woman carrying a j...ug on her head.
PYRAMID OF CESTIUS : It was built as a tomb for Gaius Cestius, a member of the Epulones religious corporation.  It stands at a fork between two ancient roads, the Via Ostiensis and another road that ran west to the Tiber along the approximate line of the modern Via Marmorata.  Due to its incorporation into the city's fortifications, it is today one of the best-preserved ancient buildings in Rome
Authorship : the drawing is from the Dutch  School, attributed to the circle of Jan Asselijn.
JAN ASSELIJN (Dieppe ca. 1610 - Amsterdam 1652) : Prominent landscape painter and draftsman in the Dutch Italianate tradition.  Born in the French town of Dieppe, France, as a child Asselijn moved with his family to Amsterdam in 1621.  There he studied with Jan Martszen the Younger, a specialist in battle scenes.  Like many Dutch painters seeking to perfect their art, Asselijn traveled to Italy after his early training, probably after November 1635.  The experience would influence his painting for the rest of his life.In Rome, he became a member of the Bentvueghels, an association of northern artists who painted views of the sun-drenched Roman countryside, as well as picturesque scenes of everyday urban life.  The group bestowed the nickname Crabbetje, or “little crab, ” on Asselijn because of his deformed left hand.  His works show the influence of the low-life street scenes of Pieter van Laer, as well as the light-infused landscapes of Jan Both, both also members of the Bentvueghels.
Asselijn returned to the Netherlands by way of Lyon, France, where he married Antoinette Huart around 1644.  He also stayed briefly in Paris, where he created preparatory drawings for three series of prints of Roman ruins by Gabriel Perelle.  By 1647, Asselijn had returned to Amsterdam.  Here, he painted Italianate landscapes for the remaining five years of his short life.  He was buried on October 3, 1652. 
Asselijn’s most innovative contribution to the Dutch landscape tradition was the sweeping scale of his panoramic paintings and his broad views of the Roman countryside and picturesque harbor and river scenes.  He often set his scenes in the early morning or late afternoon, using the play of raking light and shadow to accentuate the monumentality of the Roman ruins that so often anchored his landscapes.  Traveling merchants, shepherds, herdsmen, and their animal charges populate Asselijn’s views, their theatrical gestures helping to draw the viewer into his scenes.

Important : this way, I'd like to inform you about the August arrangements.  I will be staying in the South of France with my family, leaving on Wednesday the 28th of July.  I will be able to ship till Tuesday the 27th (your payment should reach me than during that same day West European Time).The main commercial issue in August will be the market of Barjac mid of the month, combined with some smaller local markets.  During my stay in France sales will continue and communication won't be a problem.  I will return to Belgium on a regular base to organise shipments.  The first time will be on the 11th of August, returning back to France on the 13th.  The second shipment session will be organised seven days later.  I will be back in Belgium on the 20th of August, returning once again to France on the 22nd.  On the 29th of August, I will return to Belgium and will organise shipments once again.As I explained before, guygie is a one man's project, making me to organise my sales a bit different when I'm on the road.In the mean while, I continue to search for nice and special drawings to put up for sale and keep trying to give you the best service for every sale. 
I thanks all of you for your understanding and continious support !
