Dimensions
24.5 × 20.2 cm (9 5/8 × 7 15/16 in.)
Provenance
Possibly Lord Pensionary, Leiden. Possibly Richard Tucker, Exeter, England. Possibly John Collins Warren, Boston, Massachusetts. John Witt Randall, Boston, Massachusetts, 1840, bequest to Belinda Lull Randall, Boston, Massachusetts, 1892, gift to Fogg Art Museum, 1892. NOTE: The identity of the Lord Pensionary of Leiden remains unknown, there were only four men who held this position from 1700-1780: Joost van Heemskerk (1698-1701); Pieter Marcus (1702-1744); David van Roijen (1749-1753); and Jan Davidsz. van Roijen (1753-1780). See M. Prak, Gezeten burgers: De elite in een Hollandse stad Leiden 1700-1780, The Hague: De Bataafsche Leeuw, 1985. The provenance is taken from an inscription on the old mat which may be in Randall's hand.
