Commentary	On 1 April 1627, Laurens Schein (signs Lauwerens Schijn), from Acken, 22, ironmonger, living in the Warmoesstraat, was betrothed to Josina Halsthont, from The Hague (DTB 432/118). Laurens Schein, who was Lutheran, signed the Remonstrant petition of 1628. Even though he gave his occupation as ironmonger when he was betrothed in 1627, the present inventory, which contained canvas, English damast, silk and other textiles, suggests that he had become a textile merchant. on 8 November 1633, he was living in Haarlem, when he promised to deliver a painting called Gevecht potten (the battle of the pots) for 50 f. (Bredius in Oud Holland 11(1893), p. 96, no archival source cited). This painting may be identical with Gevecht boeren (lot 0012 in the present inventory).
