We are grateful to Professor Dr. Werner Sumowski for confirming the attribution of this signed picture to De Wet on the basis of a photograph. This work is closely related to another painting by the artist, of the same subject and date, formally with a London dealer (see W. Sumowski, Gemälde der Rembrandt-Schüler, Landau/Pfalz 1983, vol IV, p. 2780, cat. no. 1835, reproduced p. 2802).
