About the painting
Museum text in Russian
На переднем плане крупная поколенная фигура сидящего старика в сером камзоле и черной круглой шапочке, во рту длинная трубка, которую он держит пальцами правой руки, левую держит над стоящим перед ним на невысокой подставке глиняным горшком с тлеющими углями. Слева от старика немного вглубине стоит смотря на зрителя чуть улыбающийся мальчик с серебряным кувшином в опущенной правой и стеклянной рюмкой в левой руке; на голове у него шляпа с полями, одет в серый костюм с небольшим бантом на шее. Фон - нейтральный, серовато-коричневатый.

After December 1635, when Bol is still recorded in Dordrecht as a painter, he works as an apprentice in Rembrandt's Amsterdam workshop (other accounts say already after 1630) and lives in his house. He followed his master so closely that many of his paintings were long attributed to Rembrandt himself, and Rembrandt even sold his pupil's work.
