Specialist note

The drawing can be compared stylistically to works such as a drawing which was with Lorna Lowe and Jean-Luc Baroni in 1979 (A.C. Steland, Herman van Swanevelt: um 1630-1655, Petersberg, 2010, no. Z 2.61, fig. Z 137).

We are grateful to Anne Charlotte Steland, who has confirmed the attribution to Swanevelt on the basis of a digital image.
