Specialist note

We are grateful to Dr. William W. Robinson for endorsing the attribution to Maes on the basis of photographs. Dr. Robinson has suggested that, on the basis of the painting's style and the woman's dress and hair style, the date should be read as 1693 rather than 1673 as traditionally published.
