Fred Meijer has viewed the painting via transparency and confirms the work to be by Quiringh Gerritz van Brekelenkam, connecting it a group of similar images of vendors which mainly date from the first half of the 1660’s. It further apppears to be the only known genre painting executed in an oval format.
