拍品專文

Sumowski, loc. cit., dates this picture to the early 1640s, around the same period as a Jacob at the Well, an Expulsion of Hagar and an Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath (his nos. 1730-1 and 1733). The present portrait would seem to be partly allegorical, although the precise iconography remains unclear; it can, however, be compared with Victors' Portrait of the de Witte family as the Family of Isaac (ibid., no. 1755) or his slightly later Group portrait of a family in oriental costume of 1670 (sold, Sotheby's, London, 3 July 1997, lot 225 [£11,500]).
