Description: Jacob de Wit (Amsterdam 1695 - 1754) (attributed to) Diana and the Hunt, 18th century Pen and grey ink and wash, heightened with white, within pen and black ink framing lines, on thick light brown paper; mounted with Jacob de Witt in pencil, lower right. 5 by 9 inches (drawing); 8 by 11 inches (mount) Born in Amsterdam, Jacob De Wit became famous for his door and ceiling paintings. He lived on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam, and many of the buildings on the Keizersgracht still have door or ceiling paintings done by him. Since many of the families who lived in Amsterdam in those days had country villas, de Wit also painted in houses in the fashionable areas of Haarlem and the Vecht river. According to the RKD, he was the pupil of Albert Spiers in Amsterdam and Jacob van Hal in Antwerp where he became a member of the Guild of St. Luke in 1714. His pupils were Jan de Groot (painter from The Hague), Dionys van Nijmegen, Jan Punt, Pieter Tanjé, and the brothers Frans and Jacob Xavery. De Wit died in Amsterdam in 1754. Tako Hajo Jelgersma was his follower.
