NOTES:
[1] A number of paintings in the 1816 Ry sale were purchased by the dealer van Mechelen on behalf of Philippe-Jacques van Leemputten, and appear in his posthumous sale in 1820. See the Getty Provenance Index online, sale cat. B-260.

[2] In the nineteenth-century sales, the artist's name is given as "Dromantiou" or "Dromantion". Thys may refer to Jean-François Thijs (b. 1783 - d. 1865), an art restorer and dealer in Brussels.
