Footnotes
(1) The date the painting left the van Stolk collection is confusing. According to Max J. Friedländer, Altniederländische Malerei, vol. 6, Berlin, 1928, no. 125, the painting was sold by van Stolk in 1907 and then enterred the art market in Amsterdam and Brussels. If this is accurate, the inclusion of the painting in J.B. van Stolk's Catalogue des sculptures, tableaux, tapis etc, formant la collection d'objets d'art du Musée van Stolk, Jansstraat 50--Haarlem, The Hague, 1912, p. 74, no. 444, reflects the fact that it was formerly in the collection.
(2) Friedländer 1928, no. 125 [see note two]
(3) Probably the dealer in Brussels to whom Max Friedländer [see note one] was referring. Max Rothschild was a dealer in Brussels. He was not related to the famous collecting family.
