Footnotes

(1) According to the printed record of the results of the sale. The name is variously recorded: the entry in the sale catalogue itself is annotated "2100 Kruyer." An unidentified article about the results of the sale attached to a copy of the sale catalogue at the Getty Research Institute presumably misspelled the name of the buyer as "Krager." Haarlem-London 2008, no. 45, p. 151, identifies the buyer as P. E. Kruyer.

(2) According to an annotated photo mount from Douwes now at the Getty Research Institute.

(3) Sidney James van den Bergh was a major collector of seventeenth-century Dutch paintings. He was a senior manager of Unilever and served as minister of defense for the Netherlands in 1959. A. B. de Vries 1964 and A. B. de Vries et. al. 1968.
