This painting is also from the Alexander Buchan Estate and was formerly in the collection of Sydney Lough Thompson. Although Thompson would probably have copied Yan der Yelden 's w_orks during his apprenticeship, th~ rendering and use of bitumen in the pamt strongly suggests Yan der Yelden to have been its author and not Thompson as previously supposed.
