THIS LOT IS PART OF THE RIMPAU-LANGENSTEIN COLLECTION
(please click for further information)
Provenance:
Collection of the Rimpau family, Langenstein Castle
Literature:
L. N. Geurts, Uit de anonimiteit onttrokken: De Meester van het Langenstein-Familieportret [Emerging out of anonymity: The Master of the Langenstein Family Portrait], master thesis, Leuven, 2017–2018
We are grateful to Katlijne Van der Stighelen for confirming the attribution on the basis of a photograph. In the academic year of 2017–18 the latter supervised a master thesis by Lucy Geurts on the present painting. In this thesis she attributes the work to Johannes Hulsman. A plausible identification of the female sitter as a member of the German Reinking family is also suggested by Geurts. A copy of her master thesis in Dutch accompanies the painting.
A comparable painting by the artist was part of the collection at Schloss Marienburg in Germany and since sold with Sotheby’s, 5 October 2005, lot 34. Both this work and the present lot are fine examples of family portraiture placed in a narrative setting.
