Abstract
Traditionally considered to be a work by Rembrandt, and accepted by Bredius and Bauch,1 the present painting was rejected by Gerson in his 1969 revision of Bredius’ book.2 Gerson had seen the painting, which had been stolen in 1922 and resurfaced after the Second World War, when it was confiscated as ‘private enemy property’. It was temporarily exhibited in Washington in 1967. Gerson’s assessment that it was not by Rembrandt but rather by or after Ferdinand Bol has never been questioned in the subsequent Rembrandt literature. The present entry attempts to locate the painting more precisely in Rembrandt’s workshop production.
