"Mother and children" (1673). Drawing in brush, watercolor and brown ink, signed in the lower right corner. Size of support and subject : 171 x 133 mm. This drawing is to be related to the painting "Violinist in front of the inn" kept at the Mauritshuis in The Hague (inv./cat.nr 129). The painting depicts a larger composition of a group of figures in front of an inn, including a mother and her two children on the right-hand side. Our drawing would be a watercolour sketch detail of this composition. Stylistically, this watercolour is very close to the following drawing: "Dancers, drinkers and musicians inside an inn", (Amsterdam Museum, inv./cat.nr A 10236) and dating from the same year as our drawing and the Mauritshuis painting.
