I would like to thank Fred Meijer who has graciously thrown the towel, 18/08/25: according to the expert our unidentified painter was active during the middle of the 17th century in Amsterdam. He further states it is not Simon Kick, nor Jacob Duck, nor the young Jacob van Loo. In the year 2000 Meijer had registered our pair at the RKD as “possibly after Gerbrand van den Eeckhout”, but now he no longer supports this attribution.
