A study of the man's head, in the same sense, signed with monogram, is in the Boymans-van Beuningen Museum, Rotterdam (Schnackenburg, op.cit., no. F236). It was attributed to Dusart by Schnackenburg, but earlier accepted as by Adriaen van Ostade by E. Trautscholdt, (Über Adriaen van Ostade als Zeichner, Festschrift Friedrich Winkler, Berlin, 1959, p. 296, no. 32, p. 293, fig. 12). As Slatkes points out (op.cit., p. 236), the print shows the same composition as that of Ostade's lost picture which belonged to Captain William Baillie in 1774. Baillie engraved it in mezzotint, in the same sense as B.10, leaving uncertain the sense of the picture. The head of the model in the Rotterdam drawing may be compared with the studies of heads in the same technique related to B.3 (see lot 1) in the British Museum, London (Schnackenburg, op.cit., nos. 81, 113-4). The same composition, in the same sense, appears in the artist's picture from the Bromberg and Rikoff Collections, sold in Paris, 4 December 1907, lot 15. It is signed and dated 1665 and shows the figure leaning with his elbow on the window in a different position, not smoking. Both Schnackenburg and Slatkes date this plate to circa 1660-70.
