GONZALES COQUES (1614 Antwerp 1684) Allegory of taste. Oil on wood. 27.8 × 21.5 cm. Provenance: - Collection Mr J. van Duijsendijk, Scheveningen, 1962. - Art dealer St Lucas, The Hague, 1963. - Swiss private ownership, for at least two generations. Exhibition: Delft 1963, 15e Oude Kunst- en Antiekbeurs, 20 June - 13 July 1963, Museum Het Prinsenhof, Delft. Literature: Marion Lisken-Pruss: Gonzales Coques (1614-1684). The little van Dyck, Turnhout 2013, p. 282, no. U20. The painting was probably part of a series of the seven deadly sins, of which the Allegory of Wrath still survives (see Lisken-Pruss 2013, no. 47, p. 253). Dr Marion Lisken-Pruss, who published the painting in 2013 as an uncertain attribution on the basis of a poor image, has now confirmed its authenticity after examining a photograph, for which we thank her.
