As has been suggested by Mr. Willem van de Watering, it is likely that the present work was executed by Lingelbach in Amsterdam soon after his return from Rome. He was in Amsterdam by 1653, where he married and was granted citizenship (see N.Maclaren, The National Gallery Catalogues, The Dutch School, revised and expanded by C.Brown, London, 1991, p.233). The Grey is very similar to that in the signed picture in the Rijksmuseum (no.1471).
