Until the early twentieth century this painting was generally considered to be by Rembrandt. Since then many names, pupils and followers of Rembrandt, have been advanced as possible author of the canvas. It might be an early work by Aert de Gelder, when he was a pupil of Rembrandt, but it could have been painted by an unknown pupil or an artist working outside Rembrandt's workshop. ## Related artworks - [A black drummer and commander mounted on mules; riding in profile]() - [A child being taught to walk]() - [A cottage beneath trees]() - [A girl sleeping]() - [A Man Laughing]() - [A man making water]() - [A Peddler Selling Spectacles \(The Allegory of Sight\)]() - [A Polish Nobleman]() - [A Scholar]() - [A two-humped camel]() - [A woman in Zeeland costume, from the back]() - [A woman in Zeeland costume, from the front]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
