Signature and Date LC (left of ace of spades): [HTB fecit 1623]NB: Nicolson (1956), pp. 107, 108 thought the date might be read 1623, but it was not sufficiently clear; but dated the painting c. 1623 chiefly on grounds of style. An infrared photograph of the signature and date (Nicolson, 1959, pl. 110A) leaves no doubt that the last digit is a '3'. The word 'fecit' preceding the date is not clearly visible.
