Specialist note

The belted bag with a key hanging from it appears in another sheet of studies by Hoogstraten (Sumowski, op. cit., pp. 2794-95, no. 1263x ). Sumowski dates the sheet to the end of the 1640s. Hoogstraten spent most of the 1640s in Rembrandt's workshop, before returning to his native Dordrecht by January 1648.
