published the picture, correctly associated it with a painting of een
Kaersligtende Vrouiv door Henrico ter Brugghen (a woman spreading light with
a candle by Henrico ter Brugghen), which was lot 27 in the Jacob de Flines
sale, Amsterdam, 1720,59 and most scholars have agreed. When the Girl with
the Firebrand was sold in 1720, it had a pendant described as Een Lachende
59 S.J. Gudlaugsson, “Een kaarslichtende vrouw door Hendrick ter Brugghen,” Oud Holland, 75,
1960, p.118. I have followed the translations of A. Blankert, A Newly Discovered Painting by
11. Hendrick ter Brugghen,
here indentified os The
Death of the Virgin, convos,
