Jacob van der Ulft was most recognised for his architectural and topographical compositions. The present work, A capriccio of an obelisk and a classical temple, can be compositionally compared to Jan van der Ulft's oil on panel painting titled 'Italian harbour view', held in the Rijksmuseum collection since 1809, no. SK-A-419 (https://id.rijksmuseum.nl/20026434). (1)
