The painting belonged to the collection of the Rothshild family in Vienna from 1898 to 1938 when the German requisitioned it. After World War II it was in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna until 1998 when the Austrian government restituted the painting to the Rothshilds who later auctioned it. Since 2003 the painting is in the collection of the Prince of Liechtenstein. ## Related artworks - [A Young Man in a Large Hat]() - [Andries van der Horn]() - [Anetta Hanemans]() - [Anna van der Aar]() - [Banquet of the Officers of the St George Civic Guard Company]() - [Banquet of the Officers of the St George Civic Guard \(detail\)]() - [Banquet of the Officers of the St George Civic Guard]() - [Banquet of the Officers of the St Hadrian Civic Guard Company]() - [Boy holding a Flute \(Hearing\)]() - [Boy Playing a Violin]() - [Boy with a Lute]() - [Buffoon Playing a Lute]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
