The Reader. Eglon van der Neer (Dutch, 1635/36-1703). Oil on canvas. Met.The attribution to Eglon van der Neer was suggested in 1935 by F. Schmidt-Degener, and accepted by the Museum in 1949. His authorship has been challenged occasionally, but Liedtke and other scholars concur with Gudlaugsson’s conclusion that the execution is decisively typical of Eglon van der Neer and that the work, while clearly inspired by Ter Borch, does not necessarily record a lost composition by him. -- source link
