Commentary	Pieter Goetkint, who was perhaps a dealer in paintings, was probably related to Anthony Goetkint, from Antwerp, who was an art dealer (see the TEXT of R 684). A fair number of the paintings in Pieter Goetkint's inventory were attributed to South Netherlandish artists. However, he cannot be Anthony's brother Pieter since the latter was said to have died before 14 January 1638 (deposition at the request of Anthoni Goetkint, merchant living in Paris, before an Antwerp notary) (Duverger, Antwerpse kunstinventarissen, 4(1989), p. 135). He is likely to be identical with Pieter Goetkint I, grandfather of Pieter Goetkint II. The latter, by an act of 9 August 1650 passed before an Antwerp notary, gave up one fourth of his inheritance from Catharina Goetkint, daughter of the late Pieter Goetkint I and of Catherina van Palermo, to the painter Jacobus Thuys, in exchange for a number of paintings (Duverger, op.cit. vol.6(1992), pp.140-1).
