THE PROPERTY OF A GENTLEMAN
We are grateful to Fred G. Meijer of the R.K.D., The Hague, for suggesting an attribution to Michiel van Musscher. This painting can be compared with a portrait of a family by Van Musscher, which was sold, New York, Christie's, 14 January 1993, lot 91. Both works reveal Van Musscher's typical way of painting broad, open faces with thick almond-shaped eyes.
