We are grateful to Dr Hiltraud Doll, who was unaware of this picture until recently, for helping to untangle the provenance, and for confirming on the basis of transparencies that it is a typical work of 1649. She will include it in her forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the works of Adriaen and Isack van Ostade as no. 114a.
