Entry
According to Schulz, this drawing is not by Saftleven, despite the subject being a frequently recurring motif within his oeuvre. The drawing was purchased as by Antonie Waterloo (1609-1690), but that attribution has also been rejected. No other possible attribution has been put forward since.
