Catalogue Note
We are grateful to Peter Sutton for confirming the attribution to Pieter Janssens Elinga
based on firsthand inspection of the painting.
The figure of the woman sweeping seen from behind is very similar to that in Janssens Elinga's The Sweeper in The Hermitage, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
