Acquisition and important dates

Note

Previously attributed to Abraham Diepenbeck [1596-1675]. In the centre is a portrait of Jean-Baptiste Colbert [1619-1683]; the engraving by Benoit Audran I [1661-1721] attributed this to Claude Lefebvre [1632-1675]; It seems more probable that the portrait is by Lefebvre and the border by De La Fosse.
