Nicholas van Assendelft - "a damsel playing on the Clavichord by Vermeer"
Lady Seated at a Spinet
Johannes Vermeer
A Lady Standing at the
Virginals
Johannes Vermeer
The description of the painting in Van Assendelft's collection could fit either A Lady Seated at the Virginals or A Lady Standing at the Virginals both in The National Gallery of London. It cannot be determined if Van Assendelft acquired the painting from Vermeer himself. On the other hand, Vermeer may also have painted yet another damsel at a spinet which no longer exists.
