The attribution to Swanevelt was first made by Professor Ann Sutherland Harris, and confirmed upon first-hand inspection by Dr. Anne Charlotte Steland, who believes the staffage to have been painted by Jan Asselijn.  Dr. Steland will include this picture in her forthcoming catalogue raisonnĂ© on the works of Herman van Swanevelt.
