We are grateful to Mr. Fred Meijer of the RKD for confirming the attribution after examining the picture in the original.
Lelienbergh was active in The Hague for much of his career and has traditionally been thought to have been born there. However, when he joined the Guild of Saint Luke there in 1646, his high admission fee of 18 guilders suggests that he was not in fact a native of the city. He participated in the Confrerie Picture in 1656, but by 1666 had moved to the province of Zeeland, where he is recorded as a clerk at the fortress Moerspuy in Zeeland Flanders. A painter of (mainly game) still lifes and some kitchen interiors, strongly influenced by the work of Jan Baptist Weenix, he worked in The Hague at the same time as the latter's nephew, Melchior d'Hondecoeter, and the two seem to have influenced each other.
A closely similar composition to the second picture, also dated 1660, was sold anonymously, Christie's, Amsterdam, 9 May 2001, lot 29. Both pictures recall the signed picture of 1655 in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
