Lot Essay

The present lot reveals the influence of both Rembrandt's selfportrait in Oriental costume of 1631 in the Petit Palais, Paris (J. Bruyn et. al., A Corpus of Rembrandt Painting, I, 1982, pp. 373-83, n^.A40, with ill.) after which de Jouderville made a copy (J. Bruyn, et. al., op. cit., p.381, n^.7-1) and Gerard Dou's picture of the same subject in the Szépõvészeti Múzeum, Budapest (Sumowski, op. cit., n^.268).
From the first picture he developed to the figure of the standing officer leaning on a sword, from the second he borrowed the saddle and shield in the still life in the foreground.
