CATALOGUE NOTE

In the middle of the 17th Century the painter Leonard Bramer (1594-1674) produced a series of drawings after many of the paintings he saw in private collections in Delft. Hofstede de Groot dated these sheets to between 1642 and 1653/4, when Adam Pick, known to have been the collector of several of the works copied, left Delft for Leiden. Amongst these drawings by Bramer there is one that records the present composition almost exactly (Rijksprentenkabinet, Amsterdam; reproduced in Fleischer, see Literature below, fig. 36). The fact that the painting was in Delft in the mid-seventeenth Century has led Fleischer to date the work to circa 1648-50 and it is quite plausible that it was amongst those owned by Pick.
