Catalogue Note
Joseph Hoeufft was the son of Jan and Isabella Deutz, lord of castle Lunenburg and magistrate of the town council of Utrecht. In 1699 he married Constantia van Toll. Maes painted another portrait of the sitter at a younger age, datable to circa 1677, of which the present location is unknown (see under Literature, Krempel, p. 321, cat. no. A 190a, reproduced fig. 272).
A pendant portrait of his brother, Joan Hieronymus Hoefft, is offered here as lot 109.
