Question

Christopher Brown’s monograph on this artist connects the subject of a major painting to the name of a silk merchant appearing in the top right above a trompe-l’oeil nail in an earlier portrait. A 2004 restoration revealed the legs of another soldier under the arch in the background of a painting by this artist that depicts (-5[1])a small black dog next to a resting guard. The anamorphic (-5[2])appearance of a church suggests that a painting by this artist was intended for viewing in a (*) perspective box. This portraitist (-5[1])of Abraham de Potter included a viol (10[1])in the stall on the left (10[1])of a cityscape of his hometown. (10[1]-5[1])Though many of this artist's works were lost (10[1])when he died in a gunpowder (10[3])store's (10[2])explosion, (10[1])his surviving works include a painting of a blue container with two wooden half-rings, (10[1])to the upper of which the title animal is chained. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[1])what student of Rembrandt painted The Goldfinch? ■END■ (10[3]0[1])

ANSWER: Carel Pietersz Fabritius [or Karel Faber] (Brown suggests that Fabritius may have painted The Goldfinch, or Het puttertje, for Abraham de Potter, whose surname was also spelled de Putter; the other paintings referenced are the Portrait of Abraham de Potter, The Sentry, and his View of Delft.)
