In his 2000 catalogue raisonné, Klaus Eisele (see Literature), associates the present painting with two consecutive entries in Cornelis Hofstede de Groot's catalogue (see Literature), positing that they are in fact one and the same painting, and that the dimensions cited by Hofstede de Groot for his cat. no. 711 (23 by 25 1/2 in.), are in fact incorrect.
