This painting probably repeats the composition of a lost work described as 'Een Manneken met Roomerken in de Hand, op paneel, van Brouwer' ('a man with a roemer in the hand, on panel, by Brouwer'), one of 20 paintings by the artist in the Anthonie collection in 1691 (see G. Knuttel, Adriaen Brouwer: The Master and His Work, The Hague, 1962, p. 181).
