Talk:Maria de Knuijt/list of paintings

This page is a worksheet to compare 1696 catalogue number assignments from Binstock and from Broos & Wheelock, using a at the end of the line if Broos & Wheelock make the same assignment for a painting... and then figure out what changes need to be made in article space.

The table below was built from this version of this page.

Paintings by Vermeer
The table of paintings shows the descriptions of paintings used at the 1696 auction of Jacob Dissius' estate and the paintings associated to the auction catalogue by Binstock and by Broos & Wheelock. The 21 Vermeer paintings in the auction were given catalog numbers 1 through 12, 31 to 33, and 35 to 40, and works by other artists were listed from 13 to 30 and 34.

Binstock assigned a painting to every description, except the few that are lost. Broos & Wheelock assigned catalog numbers to the works in the 1996 exhibition of Vermeer paintings. It is not possible to identify all the paintings in the auction with certainty as the descriptions are ambiguous.

Several additional paintings have been identified at some point as potential 1696 auction paintings. One is the Girl with a Flute, which is believed to have been made by a studio associate of Vermeer. Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window is another, the museum states that the earliest known owner of the painting was the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, August III who acquired the painting in 1742. The Concert, which was stolen in 1990, does not have a provenance that ties it to the 1696 auction.
