Richard Brakenburg
(1650 Haarlem, The Netherlands - 1702 Haarlem, The Netherlands)
A native of Haarlem, Brakenburg was the student of Hendrick Mommers. The greatest influence on his work however was Jan Steen. This is clearly evident in the present painting, and Brakenburgh's most accomplished works have often been attributed to Steen. Brakenburg, together with Cornelis Dusart, belonged to the second generation of students of Adriaen van Ostade [1610-1685]. In his work the peasant genre became overlaid with petit-bourgeois mannerism and pictorial style became a cultivated convention.
