Provenance: Martin Aufhäuser (1875-1944), Munich, 
Confiscated from the above, 18 November 1938,
Recovered by the Monuments Men and sent to the Munich Central Collection Point, inv. 36120, 23 July 1946, 
Transferred to Wiesbaden, 25 May 1949, 
Restituted the heirs of Martin Aufhäuser, 2 December 1949, and thence by descent.

Note: While born in around 1633 in the town of ’s-Hertogenbosch, North Brabant, Striep registered as a citizen in Amsterdam in 1657. It is likely that he had trained in the city, probably under Willem Kalf, whose influence is strongly felt in Striep’s careful compositions, sharp observations and meticulous technique.
