Tements of the first painting which he had done for him (it is to be nnderstood that the painting

Wandering Musicians13 (fig. 6) is a version of Dietrich's painting in the National Gallery
in London (fig. 7).14 The connection between this composition and the works of Adriaen van
Ostade had been discovered long ago.15 As M. Levey suggests, in this case an unknown painting
by Ostade, recorded by Hofstede de Groot (No. 433) might have been a model for Dietrich;
