Note du spécialiste

Professor Sumowski identified this as the preparatory study for a drawing in the Teylers Museum, Haarlem and considers it to be 'superior in quality' to the more finished work (op. cit., no. 1128). On the basis of similarities with Hoogstraten's Calling of Simon and Andrew in the Fondation Custodia in Paris, he suggested a date in the early 1650s.
