Catalogue Note

The Haarlem genre painter Hendrick Heerschop, who was a pupil of Willem Claesz. Heda (1594-1680), is known for his interior scenes of alchemists and doctors, of which the present work is a fine example. Another very similar picture of this subject, signed and dated 166., with a standing doctor in the same interior, was recorded with Galerie Internationale, The Hague, circa 1930 (according to a note in the R.K.D.).
