Levie, P.J.J. van Thiel et al A Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings 1635-1642, vol. III, cat. no. A112 copy 2, pp. 156-8, ill, figs. 7 and 8 The present work is derived from Rembrandt's original work, from circa 1635, now in The National Gallery, London (see: acc.no. NG4930). There are notable differences to the veil, the absence of a plant lower right and ivy entwinned staff, which is vertical in the present work and tilted to the left in Rembrandt's original. The placement of the staff makes it likely that William Pether's mezzotint was made after the present painting (see literature).
