About this work

Just like the drawing by Roghman that was cut into two, this one by Van Ostade was cut into pieces sometime in the 18th century. An art dealer or collector turned it into three separate drawings, each with its own framing lines. This notwithstanding, they have always remained together and the original sheet could be pieced together again.
