A. Lasius, Quiringh van Brekelenkam, Doornspijk 1992, p. 168, cat. no. D37 (under rejected attributions).
Catalogue Note
This is a highly characteristic work by Brekelenkam, which Lasius inexplicably placed under rejected attributions (see Literature below). It would be charitable to assume that she only knew it from an old photograph.
