Literature:
Katlijne Van der Stighelen: Prima inter pares. Over de voorkeur van aartshertog Leopold-Wilhelm voor Michaelina Woutiers (ca 1620-na 1682), in: Hans Vlieghe and Katlijne Van der Stighelen (ed.): Sponsors of the Past. Flemish Art and Patronage 1550-1700, p. 91-116, fig. 24, p. 108.

We are grateful to Prof. Katlijne Van der Stighelen for confirming the present painting as a work by the hand of the artist on the basis of a photograph. She dates it between 1646 and 1659 based on stylistic considerations and will publish it in her upcoming catalogue raisonné of the artist.
