young boy older woman

Interior with an Old Woman and a Young Boy is a c.1656-1660 oil on panel painting by Jan Steen held in a private collection. Initially identified in the Hague as an anonymous copy by Macalester Loup, it was probably bought in the Hague by Johan Gabriel Schwarzmann (1739-1812). After his death he left it to Maria Anna Schwarzmann (1778-1847), wife of Pierre Bartholomeus van den Hove (1763-1839). They left it to their daughter Anna Maria Ludicova van den Hove (1822-1855), wife of Eduard Theodor Leon Speyart van Woerden (1813-1881). It was then inherited by Cornelius Ludovicus Maria Emilius Joannes Eduard Speyart van Woerden (1849-1911) and left by him to another private owner. On 9 June 2015 it was auctioned at Sotheby's in London as "property from a Dutch noble collection".
