Commentary	A larger collection was recorded after Elbert Martsz.'s death (INVNO 273). The family portraits and the amateur (?) productions by Jan Albertsz. seem to have been omitted. See the text under INVNO 273, R 190. Elbert Martensz., wine dealer, had invested 1800 f. in V.O.C. shares (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister, p. 177). Note also that in the sale of Albert Martsz.'s household goods, a few works of art were included. These are recorded in INVNO 2731. Altogether the two sales brought 2959 f. 2 st. 12 pen. See also the remark in Van Buchell's diary in the notes to INVNO 2731, R 568.
