 ix FRANS HALS 59 Sale. M. Peletier, Paris, April 28, 1870, No. 12 ; canvas, 21^ inches by 16 inches. It is not certain that this was the Brussels picture, as the dimensions were greater. If it was, then Moes' statement can only be reconciled with this on the assumption that Leroy put the picture into the Peletier sale, and bought it in. Purchased from Leroy, 1870, by the Brussels Gallery. In the Brussels Gallery, 1906 catalogue, No. 203. 189. WILLEM VAN HEYTHUYSEN. B. 43 ; M. 47. Half-length ; in a painted oval.
