Notes

THE PROPERTY OF A LADY
We are grateful to Fred G. Meijer for confirming the attribution to Verelst following inspection of the original. Though very comparable to Verelst's few known portraits, it is not clear whether this picture was originally intended as a likeness; the presence of the bag held by the man might suggest a possible identifcation of the sitter as a moneylender or perhaps Judas. A similar portrait by Verelst was sold New York, Sotheby's, 30 January 1997, lot 22.
