| Auction House | Schley (Philippus); Vries (Jeronimo) -- from catalog: Philippus van der Schley; Jeroni8mo de Vries | | Sale Location | Huize Roos, het Huis met de Hoofden, Keizersgracht, tussen de Heerenstraat en de Leliegracht, Amsterdam, Netherlands | | Seller(s) | from catalog: nagelaten door den heer Joannes Baptista Fratacolla | | Lugt Number | 8353 | | Notes | LDBa and EBNP both give the totals as fl. 7289.14.
Rudd Priem (Simiolus, 1997, p.162) gives Fratacolla's dates as 1736-1812. His profession is still unknown. Although he does not seem to have bought under his own name, many of the pictures from the present sale can be traced to a variety of auctions between 1802 and at least 1809. The prices paid were generally not large, and the most expensive so far identified was 200 fl. paid in 1803 for an interior thought to be by Jan Vermeer of Delft. When resold in the present sale it fetched only 130 fl. and was later re-attributed to an eighteenth-century artist Isaac Koedijck, under whose name it managed to fetch a much better price in 1817. The only painting to fetch a reasonably high price in the present sale was no.2, a small landscape by Jan and Andries Both that fetched 1026 fl., a figure that far exceeded everything else in the sale. (It is most recently recorded as being in the collection of the Earl of Haddington.) Only one other picture has been traced: no.5 an interior by Brekelencam is now in the Michaelis Collection in the Old Town House, Cape Town, South Africa. (Notes by B.
