ISAAC DE JOUDERVILLE (LEIDEN 1612/3-1645/8 AMSTERDAM)
This painting, which was traditionally given to the Haarlem artist Willem de Poorter (1608-after 1648), has more recently been attributed by Werner Sumowski to Rembrandt's early pupil, Isaac de Jouderville. Sumowski cites in particular the characteristic embroidered clothing adornments and turban bands (loc. cit.). De Jouderville is one of only a handful of Rembrandt pupils whose apprenticeship is securely documented. He was certainly working with the master by 1 November 1629, though, considering his relatively advanced age at that time, he had probably been with Rembrandt for some time by then. De Jouderville is last documented with Rembrandt on 19 November 1631, suggesting he made the trip to Amsterdam with him in that year.

Condition report

The work is composed of three vertically-oriented wood panels. The right panel approximately measuring 5.25 inches wide, the central panel approximately measuring 11.25 inches wide, and the left panel approximately measuring 5.5 inches wide. The panel is supported on the reverse with a cradle and batons have been added to each edge. The work measures 27.5 x 22.75 inches with the batons. There is a vertical crack issuing from the lower edge at center and extending approximately 8 inches. There is an overall very fine unobtrusive network of craquelure following the wood grain. Under natural light, scattered retouching, including to the panel joins, is evident. Inspection under ultraviolet light, confirms the aforementioned retouching, although further inspection is impeded by an opaque varnish. The work should be hung in its present state. The painting is offered with a carved giltwood frame.
