Catalogue Note

The red chalk figure studies of Gerrit Berckheyde are very familiar, those of his genre painter elder brother, Job, far less so, though two examples are in the Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum, Braunschweig (inv. nos. Z. 2541, Z. 2542). The figure and facial type seems, however, consistent with the artist's paintings.
