DisclaiIner
This isa publication ofthe StichtingFoundation Rembrandt Research Project. The opinions expressed in this volume (IV),and the
previouslypublishedvolumes I-IIIin the SeriesA Corpus ifRembrandtPaintings, should be understood as "opinions" that are meantfor
academic useonly. The opinions represent the Foundation'sbestjudgmentbased on available information at the time ofpublication.
The opinions are not statements or representations offact nor a warranty ofauthenticity of a work ofart and are subject to change
as scholarship and academic information about an individual work of art changes. Opinions have been changed in the past
according to new insights and scholarship. It should be understood that forming an opinion as to the authenticity of a work of art
purportingto be by Rembrandtisoften very difficultandwillin most casesdepend upon subjective criteriawhich are not capable of
proofor absolute certainty. Therefore, the conclusions expressed in the volumes are only opinions and not a warranty of any kind.
Third parties cannot derive any rights from these opinions. Neither the Foundation, nor the members ofits board, nor the authors,
nor the cooperators, nor any other parties engagedin the Rembrandt Research Project accept any liability for any damages (schade),
