In addition to his portrait of Willem van Heythuyzen, one of works acquired its misleading title from a Victorian exhibition organized by Richard Wallace. An owl perches on the left shoulder of an old woman opening a tankard in his Malle Babbe and he did several group portraits of the St. George and St. Hadrian Civic Guards. For 10 points, name this Dutch artist who painted The Jolly Topper and The Laughing Cavalier.
