Painting

This painting was documented by Hofstede de Groot in 1910, who wrote:

211. MARIA CLAESDR. VOOGT (1577-1644), wife of Pieter Jacobsz Olycan, and mother of Jacob Pietersz Olycan. M. 61. Half-length. She is seen almost in full face, but slightly turned to the left, and looks at the spectator. Her right hand, holding a metal-covered book, is only half visible; the left hand is not shown. She wears a white cap, a ruff, and a black silk dress with a fur-trimmed cloak. The name of the sitter is known from an inscription on the back and from the coat-of-arms. [Pendant to 210.] Panel, 26 1/2 inches by 22 1/2 inches. Exhibited at the Guildhall, London, 1906, No. 86. – Mentioned in the inventory of her daughter Geertruyd Olycan, widow of Jacob Benningh, Haarlem, November 11, 1666 noted by A. Bredius. In the possession of Sir G. Donaldson, London. In the collection of Vernon Watney, Cornbury Park, Charlbury, Oxfordshire. [1]

In 1974 Seymour Slive listed this painting as a copy of a portrait at three quarter length. At that time both this painting and its pendant were in private collections and he only saw photos of them. He then assumed that the later copies were the originals. Today all four paintings are considered original, but the smaller ones were painted about five years before the three-quarter length versions. [2]
