Catalogue Note
Although this panel was attributed to Jan van Scorel until 1965, it has since been quite convincingly given to Dirck Jacobsz; compare, for example, with Jacobsz.' male donor on the left hand shutter of the altarpiece in the Stuttgart Museum1, which is signed and dated 1530. The costume corresponds closely with those worn by other sitters whose portraits Jacobsz. painted around this date, notably those worn by several of the sitters in his large group portrait of 1529 now in Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum, no. 12882.
