The symbol at upper right has been connected with Dr Johannes Furnerius (1582-1668) by Maud van Suylen and Jane Shoaf Turner (Master Drawings, vol. 60:4, 2022) pages 435-466, and no. 93 in appendix. The authors identified 125 drawings and 1 print bearing these marks. The authors identify the artist's name on the verso of the drawing as the hand of Abraham Furnerius, the collector's son.
