Inscriptions:

Signature (signed on balustrade): [B. van der helst f.]Taken from the 1970 MIA catalogue, however this cannot be confirmed. In a letter to Willem van de Watering dated May 9, 1988, George Keyes writes, "Our conservator was able to find no trace of a signature anywhere on the painting so that the catalogue reference to a signature presumably refers to an inscription removed when the picture was last cleaned, although the conservation report [1963] makes no reference to an inscription, or its removal, at that time."
