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.
