Sumowski, Govaert Flinck 1967 p. 340, & Drawings of the Rembrandt school, IV New York 1981 as attributed to Govaert Flinck Catalogue note: Govaert Flinck was one of Rembrandt’s most talented pupils. His biographer Arnold Houbraken records that he worked in Rembrandt’s Amsterdam studio for just a year – probably 1635-6, and in this short time became so adept at painting in Rembrandt’s manner that several of his pictures were sold as works by Rembrandt’s own hand. By the mid-1640s Flinck had built up a flourishing career in his own right, to the extent that he had become one of Rembrandt’s chief rivals in Amsterdam.
