Cornelis Hofstede de Groot Catalogue Raisonne of the Works of the Most Eminent Dutch Painters of the Seventeenth Century

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The catalogue includes all the portraits by Maes of sitters who can be identified, whether these portraits are in existence or are known only from sale catalogues. It includes also the unidentified portraits whose present whereabouts is known to the author, or which he has himself seen at sales or in exhibitions without knowing where to find them now, and also the portraits in earlier sales which are described with precision or, above all, which are dated. But all other imperfectly described portraits in old sales and exhibitions have been omitted.
