Provenance
Private Collection, The Netherlands, since the early 20th century
The present work is comparable to Hendrick Bloemaert's Boy Selling Farm Products, in which the same shepherd boy appears, now in a private collection (see: M. Roethlisberger, Abraham Bloemaert and His sons, Doornspijk, 1993, p. 507, cat. no. H.165, ill., H161). A similar work was offered in these rooms, 9 July 2014, lot 89.
We are grateful to Prof. Marcel Roethlisberger for confirming the attribution to Hendrick Bloemaert upon examination of colour photographs.
