This page is a worksheet to compare 1696 catalogue number assignments from Binstock and from Broos & Wheelock, using a checkY at the end of the line if Broos & Wheelock make the same assignment for a painting... and then figure out what changes need to be made in article space.

The table below was built from this version of this page.

Paintings by Vermeer

[edit]

The table of paintings shows the descriptions of paintings used at the 1696 auction of Jacob Dissius' estate and the paintings associated to the auction catalogue by Binstock and by Broos & Wheelock. The 21 Vermeer paintings in the auction were given catalog numbers 1 through 12, 31 to 33, and 35 to 40, and works by other artists were listed from 13 to 30 and 34.

Binstock assigned a painting to every description, except the few that are lost. Broos & Wheelock assigned catalog numbers to the works in the 1996 exhibition of Vermeer paintings. It is not possible to identify all the paintings in the auction with certainty as the descriptions are ambiguous.

Several additional paintings have been identified at some point as potential 1696 auction paintings. One is the Girl with a Flute, which is believed to have been made by a studio associate of Vermeer. Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window is another, the museum states that the earliest known owner of the painting was the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, August III who acquired the painting in 1742. The Concert, which was stolen in 1990, does not have a provenance that ties it to the 1696 auction.[g]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Broos & Wheelock say The Astronomer and The Geographer were not in the Dissius sale and were sold together in the eighteenth century.[7]
  2. ^ Binstock attributes this painting to Hendrick van Buyten's collection. Frick states, "Possibly Vermeer sale, 1696, Amsterdam, Lot 7, sold for 70 florins."[12] and "Scholars agree that lot 7 in the Dissius sale (“A young lady to whom a letter is brought by a maid”) is most likely the Frick’s Mistress and Maid."[13]
  3. ^ Broos and Wheelock state that the painting was lost since 1737, until it showed up in another auction in Amsterdam.[15] Broos and Wheelock said that A Girl Asleep "has never been doubted that she is the "A Drunken Sleeping Maid at a Table" mentioned in the 1696 sale catalogue".[16]
  4. ^ Binstock states that Girl Interrupted at Her Music is at the Berlin Staaliche Museum, Gemäldegalerie.[1]
  5. ^ Aside from de Knuijt, the painting may have been purchased by Dissius.[1][6]
  6. ^ This painting was not in Binstock's list. The provenance states, "Possibly Pieter Claesz van Ruijven; possibly by inheritance to his wife, Maria de Knuijt; possibly by inheritance to her daughter, Magdalena van Ruijven, Delft; possibly by inheritance to her husband, Jacobus Abrahamsz. Dissius, (sale, Amsterdam, 16 May 1696, probably no. 39 or 40)."[26]
  7. ^ The additional paintings include:
    • Girl with a Flute — The National Gallery of Art states that Young Girl with a Flute, which has been historically identified as one of Vermeer's works, seems as if it could have been made by someone else due to irregularities in artistic quality.[28] Binstock attributes this painting to Hendrick van Buyten's collection.[10] The National Gallery of Art states that it was likely made by a study associate of Vermeer. The provenance there states, "Possibly Pieter Claesz van Ruijven; possibly by inheritance to his wife, Maria de Knuijt; possibly by inheritance to her daughter, Magdalena van Ruijven, Delft; possibly by inheritance to her husband, Jacobus Abrahamsz. Dissius, (sale, Amsterdam, 16 May 1696, probably no. 39 or 40)."[29]


    • The Concert c. 1664–1665 - Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston[33] Missing since its theft in 1990. Gardner Museum states regarding provenance, "Purchased by A. Delfos, probably for Diederik van Leyden, Lord of Vlaardingen (1744-1810) from the sale of the Johannes Lodewyk Strantwyk collection at Kabinet Konstige Schilderyen, Amsterdam for 315 florins on 10 May 1780, lot 150.Purchased by the dealer A. Paillet from the sale of the M. Van Leyden collection at Chez A. Paillet et H. Delaroche, Paris for 350 francs on 10 September 1804, lot 62."[34]
