Abstract
Scientific examination of an undated canvas in Glasgow, Christ and the Women of Jerusalem, by the Dutch painter Samuel van Hoogstraten (1612–1678), reveals evidence of a ‘quartz ground’, a method of canvas preparation so far only found in works made in Rembrandt’s workshop, and suggestive of a date in the late 1640s when Hoogstraten worked there. However, a late dating of 1665–1675, assigned by Werner Sumowski, has been followed by subsequent authors. In this paper, the passion subject as well as the work’s provenance, which goes back to a family of the painter’s close supporters in Dordrecht, is combined with the technical evidence to support a date during or in the years immediately after his period in Rembrandt’s workshop in the late 1640s or early 1650s.
