Ejeren er kendt; om værket er udstillet i dag, vides ikke.
This painting is one of Leyster best and most important works. It is probably made in the early 1630s. The composition is innovative and the subject is a combination of genre picture, a still life, and a portrait. In connection with the acquisition in 1871, the painting was attributed to both Frans Hals by Jan de Bray despite the monogram. It was not identified as a work of Judith Leyster until 1893 by Hofstede de Groot.
