from catalog: Naargelaaten Door wijlen den Wel Edele Heer Everard de Burlett | | Lugt Number | 7221 | | No. of Painting Lots | 12 | | Notes | The collector Everard de Burlett (1731-1806) was an Amsterdam corn merchant who also held a series of public offices between 1767 and 1788. In 1773 he was living in the Singel and in 1777, when he married the wealthy widow Anna Emerentia van Broyel (1731-84), he moved into her house at Herengracht 442. Burlett also owned, in his own right, the manor Groeneveld near Ouderkerk, valued in 1784 at fl. 8000. After his wife died he inherited Herengracht 442 and lived there until his death on October 4, 1806. His son, an Amsterdam merchant, carried the same name. The first sale of De Burlett's property, held on March 17 and following days, contained his library. The present sale, nearly one month later, consisted primarily of prints, drawings and a collection of atlases. There were just 12 lots of paintings, two of which, lots 1 and 2 (described as being either by Murillo or in his style), were bought by the dealer Coclers for fl. 900 and must have been considered the stars of the collection. These were evidently versions or copies of the two paintings which were already at that time in Munich depicting An Old Woman Delousing a Young Boy and A Girl Buying Fruit from a Boy. Both paintings reappeared at Coclers's sale on April 8, 1816, as by Murillo himself, and on that occasion they were bought by the dealer Jeronimo de Vries for fl. 815 and fl. 600, respectively. They are untraced after that sale. Although they are unlikely to have been superior to the versions in Munich, their prices reflect the fact that more than a few people thought highly of them. The remaining pictures, consisting of a few genre pieces and still lifes, brought much lower prices. The returns for the entire sale came to fl. 6825:7, with a larger amount, fl. 8560, left unsold.
