Footnotes

Provenance
Acquired by the present owner's family prior to 1955, and thence by descent through the family.

Loeding was part of Jan Davidsz. de Heem's wide circle; his early works are economically composed and are reminiscent of the paintings of Willem van Aelst, Isaac Denies and Isaac van Kipshaven. His signature was often removed in order to pass his works off as de Heem.

We are grateful to Fred Meijer of the RKD for confirming the attribution to Harmen Loeding from colour photographs.
