About Jan Both

Died

Nationality
Dutch
Also known as
Jan Dirksz Both
Jan Both was a seventeenth-century Dutch painter, draughtsman, and etcher associated with Dutch Italianate landscape painting. He is also identified as Jan Dirksz Both and is described as the younger brother of artist Andries Both. Sources place him among the second generation of northern artists connected with Italianate landscape traditions, and his work contributed to the development of that field in Dutch art. Collectors may encounter his name on landscape paintings, drawings, and etched prints, as well as in museum and library authority records. The collected sources do not settle his birth year: Art UK identifies him as born circa 1618, while archival portrait metadata gives 1610. His death year is more consistently recorded as 1652. Appraisily therefore treats the birth chronology cautiously and distinguishes a documented identity match from any conclusion about the authorship of an individual object.

Common works and media
Landscape paintings form the principal category associated with Jan Both. Drawings and etchings may also appear in collections and auction records, reflecting his documented activity as a draughtsman and printmaker. Works should be categorized by medium and assessed for their relationship to the Dutch Italianate landscape tradition before selecting comparable sales.
Market and appraisal context
Jan Both auction records should be compared within like categories, separating paintings from drawings and etched prints. Subject matter and the relationship of a work to his Italianate landscape context can also help define a relevant comparison set. The collected Appraisily input reports 344 records, but this source pack does not include fetched major-auction-house lot descriptions or a verified breakdown by medium. That count should therefore be treated as an availability signal rather than evidence of value. Attribution, condition, provenance, dimensions, date, and the quality of individual comparables require object- and lot-level review before an appraisal conclusion can be supported.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories

- Drawings and works on paper
- Etchings and other prints
Value drivers
- Work type and medium, particularly whether the object is a painting, drawing, or etching
- Subject matter and its relationship to Both's Dutch Italianate landscape context
- Comparable public auction records matched by medium and work type
Appraisal caveats
- The source pack includes an Appraisily signal of 344 auction records but no fetched major-auction-house lot analysis, so category and valuation observations remain broad.
- Auction-record counts do not establish authenticity, attribution, condition, provenance, or current value.
- Any appraisal should verify the individual object's authorship, physical characteristics, history, and relevant lot-level comparables.
