The Apostle Peter,
oil on canvas, 73 x 58 cm, unframed

Provenance:
Private collection, Belgium

The present canvas depicts the Apostle Peter, holding the keys of heaven.

Another work with which the present painting shows stylistic affinities is the Portrait of an Old Man by Rembrandt’s pupil, Govaert Flinck, sold at Sotheby’s, London, on 27 April 2006 as lot 42.
