Support/medium
canvas, oil paint
Based on the absence of cusping at the top of the painting and a reproduction etching of 1800 it is thought that this painting was originally higher at the top. In the Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings it is proposed that this reduction may have taken place while the painting was in the possession of Gildemeester (Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings 1982-2015, vol. 2 (186), no. A 77).

Information about the signature, dating, inscription or any other mark on the front or back of the art work
  • signed and dated lower left: Rembrandt. f: / 1633
    The RRP questions the authenticity of the signature and date. They suggest that both signature and date might have been copied from an authentic one originally placed in the area at the top of the canvas which was later removed (Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings 1982-2015, vol. 2 (1986), no. A 77).
  • inscription center: Den[eersa?] / ende... / Jan rykensz./..../ Tot .../ port

Current attribution
Rembrandt
This painting is generally accepted as an entirely autograph Rembrandt (see for instance: Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings 1982-2015, vol. 2 (1986), no. A 77; White/De Sancha 2015, no. 160, p. 306-308). In 1993 Grimm proposed that some of the preparatory work was done by a student of Rembrandt (Grimm 1993, p. 632-633). However, this idea was not followed by other art historians.
