Commentary	On Barthelt Gerritsz. van der Hart, see the TEXT of INVNO 172 (R 92). The name of his first wife is unknown. At the time of his death in 1652, he was married to Ermpje Jacobs (cited in connection with a chest of clothing belonging to her in the present inventory). Abraham Geens and Wouter van der Hart were the sureties who guaranteed the repayment of the debts due by Barthelt Gerritsz. There is little overlap between this inventory and the one taken after the owner's death three years later (INVNO 172). Barthelt Gerritsz. may have sold the works in the present inventory at the time of his financial difficulties and bought new ones later.
