Commentary	The religion of Anna Voskuijl is inferred from the presence of the portrait of Triglandius, an Orthodox Calvinist preacher, in the inventory. She was most probably the sister of Hugh Pietersz. Voskuijl of R 25145 of Montias2, of the playwright Meynert Pietersz. Voskuijl, and of the book seller Dirck Pietersz. Voskuyl. When Dirck Pietersz. Voskuijl married Aeltje Willems Saskees, his full niece (betrothal dated 10 February 1612), Bredero wrote a poem on the occasion. Aeltje remarried with Hessel Gerritsz. (of R 20968), who made a portrait of Bredero in 1618 (I. van Eeghen, Maandblad Amstelodamum 55(1968), pp. 163-4).
