Catalogue Note
Jan Stolker worked in Amsterdam as a portrait painter and also made several miniatures of 17th-century artists. This drawing seems to be a copy after an unknown self-portrait by Heyman Dullaert. In 1757 Stolker moved to Rotterdam were he started to make wall decorations. Included in the sale of his estate (see Provenance) were many copies of paintings by well known 17th-century artists.
