Catalogue Note
This painting is the first known work to be attributable to the Rotterdam artist Anthony van Deyl, identifiable until now only through the description of a posthumous inventory drawn up on 2 July 1660, where he is described as 'Anthony van Deyl, fijnschilder.'1 1. See A. Bredius, Künstler-Inventare, vol. VI, The Hague 1919, p. 2251.
