Description

Michael Sweerts
The Music Lesson
bears initials centre right: NVH
oil on canvas

Provenance

Sold, New York, Parke Bernet Galleries, date unknown, as by Nicolaes van Haeften (according to an old label on the reverse).

Catalogue Note

Previously attributed to Nicholaes van Haeften (1663–1715), presumably on account of the monogram. The style, however, is inconsistent with what is known of his work and much more comparable to Sweerts and his circle.
