Whilst it hasn't been possible to identify either the sitters or the artist, this group bears the influences of artists such as Cornelis Troost and Hermanus van der Mijn. This slightly provincial Hogarthian group has a landscape in the distance which encourages the attribution to the North Netherlands.
Provenance: From the collection of Sir Michael Codron.
