Commentary	Albert Canter was probably related to the herring merchant Marten Canter, a buyer at WK auction (R 26502), and to his surety Willem Canter but the family lineation has not been found. From the numerous New Testament paintings (including Maria and child) in the inventory, it may tentatively be concluded that Marten Canter was Roman Catholic.
