Description: Black chalk, point of brush in brown, brown wash, 218 x 193 mm. Ruled framing lines in brown ink. Small loss at the lower left margin. There are traces of red chalk on the recto, as well as patches of greyish-dark brown pigment (etching ground?) on the verso, but no traces of indentation. No watermark. Chain lines: 25 mm. Inscribed in the upper right corner with a triangle in red ink, and numbered 73 in pen and brown ink (Karlberg Collection).

Drawing after a lost painting by Frans van Mieris, known through an etching by Hendrick Bary.  De Bisschop’s drawing was probably used by Bary. Naumann has traced it in sale catalogues of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
