Dimensions
23.1 x 13.5 cm (9 1/8 x 5 5/16 in.)
Provenance
Perhaps Alfred Boreel, Amsterdam [1], sold; [Muller, Amsterdam, 15 June 1908, lot 77 (as Rembrandt).] Paul Mathey, Paris, sold; [Hôtel Drouot (Delteil), Paris, 28 November 1924, lot 77, repr. (as attributed to Rembrandt).] [Richard Day, London], sold; to Maida and George Abrams, Boston, 1972 (L. 3306, verso, lower left); The Maida and George Abrams Collection, 2009.203 [1]. Although A. Boreel is listed as a consigner at Muller’s sale of 15 June 1908, he is not specified as the seller of our drawing. Sumowski confidently concluded that Boreel owned our drawing, but we prefer instead to qualify his ownership with, “perhaps.”
