| Notes | W. Liedtke 2003 (oral communication): not Beyeren, possibly not Dutch; F. Meijer 2004 (letter on file): 'Although it obviously has Dutch characteristics, I wonder whether it could be the work of an English artist, imitating Dutch examples. I would expect it to have been painted during the late 17th or early 18th century.' | |
