The present lot once formed the pendant to the portrait of Gerard Hasselaer (1620-1673) (present location unknown; K. Bauch, op.cit, no.145, plate 38). Both were children of Nicolaas Hasselaer and Sara Hasselaer, née Wolfaert. They are to be dated to circa 1650 and compared with the Portrait of a Gentleman at Kassel (W. Sumowski, Gemälde der Rembrandt Schýler, I, 1983, no.71, ill.) and the Portrait of a woman in the Getty Museum, Malibu. As pointed out by Bauch, op.cit., p.48, Backer's style underwent a change circa 1650, under the influence of van der Helst and the new casually elegant tone of English court portraiture of the 1630's.
