Commentary	On 19 April 1669, Isaack Swartepaart, from Amsterdam, merchant, 25 years old, assisted by his father Jacob Adriaensz. Swartepaart, living op't Nieu Eylant, was betrothed to Adriaantje Oilaarts van der Veer, 25, assisted by Pieter Noordwijck, living on the Rockin (DTB 687/334). Isaack Swartepaart was buried on 10 July 1670 (DTB 1063/122). On 25 October of the same year, a child of Isack Swarttepaert was buried (DTB 1063/25). Harmen van Swol, who evaluated the paintings with Gerrit Uylenburgh, seems to be identical with the Herman Stoffelsz. van Swoll (1632-1698), the son of a Protestant baker, who made a fortune as controller (suppoost) of the Wisselbank. He owned the Allegory of Faith by Vermeer now in the Metropolitan Museum (Montias, Vermeer and His Milieu, 1989, p. 258). On 30 May 1653, an inventory of the possessions of Harmen van Swol was taken at the request of the Concierge (probably for debts) (NA 1104, film 1287, Not. J. van de Ven). If this is the same individual, he was only 21 years old.
