Scope and Contents

Vanderbilt photo identifier: SC.MSS.088.FLEM.0749; Public Notes: In this copy, the sitter has been wrongly identified as Nicholas Rockox. We know this is inaccurate as the original clearly states the sitter's true identity in an inscription. In the original version (Private Collection, Germany), there is no column "Adriaen Moens" present. Only a potion of this copy remains (64.7 53.9 cm).
