[1] Jabach died 9 March 1695, and an inventory of his collection was drawn up by his eldest son, also named Everhard, who had come to Paris from Cologne for that purpose. Dated 17 July 1696, the inventory was published by Vicomte de Grouchy ("Éverhard Jabach, collectionneur parisien [1695], _Mémoires de la Société de l'Histoire de Paris et de l'Ile-de-France_ XXI [1894]: 217-292); no. 661 is "Petit tableau, sur bois, d'un paisan qui s'ouvre la bouche avec les doigts, demie-figure, de Brauwer. 75 liv."

However, according to Cornelis Hofstede de Groot, _A catalogue raisonné of the works of the most eminent Dutch painters of the seventeenth century based on the work of John Smith..._, 10 vols., London, 1907-1927: 3(1910): 657, no. 222j, it is not in the 1889 catalogue of the Hudtwalcker-Wesselhoeft Collection. .
