Commentary	The religion of the owner is inferred from her residence in the Bagijnhof and from the crucifix over the bedstead. It is confirmed by the presence of Cornelis Dircsz. Cool, an R.C. bookseller who was the brother-in-law of the engraver Jan Hermansz. Muller of R 32237 of Montias2. He was certainly related to the late Jannetge Elberts, but it is not known how. Jan Doedesz. Akerboom, married to Meynsge Willems, may have been the father of Jan Jansz. Akerboom and the grandfather of the R.C. priest Joannes Akerboom, cited in the TEXT to R 368 of Montias1.
