J.W. Von Moltke, Govaert Flinck, Amsterdam, 1965 p.191. no. D96. As Govaert Flinck W. Sumowski, Govaert Flinck, 1967 p. 340, & Drawings of the Rembrandt school, IV New York 1981 as attributed to Govaert Flinck.


Catalogue note:

Govaert Flinck was one of Rembrandt’s most talented pupils. His biographer Arnold Houbraken records that he wor-ked in Rembrandt's Amsterdam studio for just a year - probably 1635-6, and in this short time became so adept at painting in Rembrandt's manner that several

of his pictures were sold as works by Rembrandt's own hand. By the mid-1640s Flinck had built up a flourishing career in his own right, to the extent that he had become one of Rembrandt's chief rivals in Amsterdam.
