Specialist note

This composition relates to a watercolor, dated 1675, and compositional drawing by Adriaen van Ostade (Fondation Custodia Paris and Albertina, Vienna; see B. Schnackenburg, Adriaen van Ostade, Isack van Ostade: Zeichnungen und Aquarelle, Hamburg, 1981, I, pp. 131-132, nos. 257 and 258, II, Tafel 123). It has been suggested that this painting may be an early work by Dusart of the late 1670s while he was still in Ostade's studio, perhaps with some assistance by Ostade.
We are grateful to Dr. Fred Meijer for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
