Collection Details
Dr C J van Aalst sale, Christie’s, 1 April 1960, lot 25: bt by Lord Faringdon.

Background
According to the 1960 sale catalogue, the picture was exhibited at the Hague (Gemeente Museum, Netherlands Muzikleven, 1936) and was sold with a certificate by W R Valentiner. It does not, however, appear in the latter’s catalogue of the van Aalst collection and is too crudely painted to be regarded as the work of Honthorst himself.
