Lot Essay

In 1666, the date of the present picture, Gerrit de Wet is recorded as a member of the Guild of Saint Luke in Leiden, where he moved to in the 1660s after having worked in the Haarlem studio of his brother Jacob I.
We are grateful to Angela de Jager for confirming the attribution to the artist on the basis of a photograph.
