This painting was always regarded as an authentic Rembrandt until doubted by Tümpel and the RRP in 1986. They attributed this painting to Rembrandt's studio (Tümpel 1986, no. A 118; Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings 1982-2015, vol. 2 (1986), no. C 65). In 2004 it was suggested that this painting was made by Rembrandt with the help of a pupil (Hedley/Duffy 2004, p. 349). This attribution has since then been generally accepted, although there is no consensus of opinion on the extent of the studio assistance (Brown 2006A, p. 58-60; Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings 1982-2015, vol. 6 (2015), no. 77a).

according to an annotation in a copy of the sale catalogue (RKD, The Hague) , Lugt no. 19978: "H. 153. L. 121. – Toile. Portrait de Jean Pellicorne et son fils. Assis dans un fauteuil, Jean Pellicorne est représenté le regard tourné vers le spectateur; son costume est celui qu’on portrait en Hollande vers le milieu du 17e siècle; il remet à son fils, qui est debout près de lui, une bourse contenant de l’argent, que celui-ci s’empresse d’accepter. Le jeune homme porte un habillement de couleur grisâtre. L’illusion dans cette page est au dessus de toute description: c’est la nature reproduite avec un talent et une exactitude irréprochables. Ce tableau est une de ces pieces de Rembrandt, qui placent l’artiste à la tête de la célèbre école hollandaise et qui relèvent la grandeur du genie de ce fameux peintre."
