Notes
[1] According to Hofstede de Groot possibly identical with no. 7 of the pictures assigned to Sara van der Heyden (daughter of Jan van der Heyden) in the inventory of her widowed mother’s effects May 18 1712 (valued at 36 Florins). The corresponding inventory description reads "twe eende gejaagt van deen hond van dito."
[2] From annotated version of the 1840 auction catalogue.
[3] From annotated version of the 1913 auction catalogue.
[4] The Krupp family archives confirmed the purchase date of 1914 with documentation.
[5] The painting was seized by the Allied forces at the conclusion of the war and returned to the family in 1951.
[6] According to the Christie's sale catalogue and the de Groot catalogue raisonné the painting was sold through an anonymous sale at Frederik Muller Amsterdam May 20 1919 as lot 132. However the painting was already in the Krupp family collection in 1914 and is incorrectly listed in the Christie's catalogue. Additionally the Muller lot description's dimensions do match those of this painting.
Harvard Art Museums/Fogg Museum Gift of Peter and Anne Brooke
