A duplicate certificate of authenticity from Mr. Robert Finck, expert, dated October 14, 1964, stating that the work comes from the collection of Lord Ashburnham, will be given to the purchaser.
On at least three occasions, David Teniers the Younger treated the theme of the hurdy-gurdy player, one of his favorite types of musician along with the piper, the flutist and the mandolin player.
In the version in the former Victor Decock collection, he depicted the old musician full-length and facing (Paris, Galerie Charpentier, May 12, 1948, no. 82); in the one in the Georges Ryaux collection (Wood; 16.7 x 10.5 cm), he turned slightly to his left (Paris, Palais d'Orsay, October 4, 1979; then Galerie Jean - Max Tassel, Maastricht 1990).
Finally, next to a woman with a brazier, in front of a village palisade, in a size similar to the one reproduced here (wood; 36 x 29 cm), signed like the previous two (Sotheby's London May 17, 1989, no. 3).
