A copy of the original painting, formerly known as a portrait of François Coopal, brother-in-law of Rembrandt is in the Musée Royaux des Beaux Arts, Brussels and whose pendant of Agatha Bas (1611-1658), whose father was Burgomaster of Amsterdam on several occasions and Bambeeck's wife, is in the Royal Collection.
