This painting was previously attributed to an anonymous Dutch master and Jacob I van Oost, but is currently considered a work by Jacob van Reesbroeck. Typical of his oeuvre are figures that, while uncomplicated, radiate personality. In the truthfulness of their physiognomy, the alternation of detail (e.g. in the lace collars and sleeves) and their bravura (the rest of their clothes), Van Reesbroeck reveals his indebtedness to artists such as Anthony van Dyck and Frans Hals.
