Buyer Notes We may be fairly sure that this lot ‎(and the lots bought by Pieter Coning previous to this date)‎ was purchased by the jeweler and goldsmith Pieter ‎(de)‎ Coning‎(h)‎, born in Antwerp about 1572, the father of the painter Salomon Koninck and of Maijcke Konincx, married to Gerrit Wynants ‎(of R 20534)‎, and of Susanna Konincx, married to Hans Biermans ‎(Bredius, Künstler-inventare, p. 35 of Nachträge)‎. Pieter de Coning I himself was married to Passchyntge Konincks, who survived him ‎(see the NOTES to R 20534)‎. He became a citizen of Amsterdam in 1595. He was the brother of Aert Konincx II of INVNO 161, as an Orphan Chamber document cited in the TEXT of R 77 of INVNO 161, establishes. On 21 August 1610, Pieter Conincx, goldworker, from Antwerp, 38, declared that Jan van Coppenhagen had been apprenticed to him for five years ‎(Briels, Vlaamse schilders, p. 348)‎. Pieter Coning I was buried on 8 February 1627 in the N.K. The last lot purchased by Pieter Coningh ‎(or a variant of the name)‎ occurred on 23 April 1626 ‎(R 26815)‎. It may have been bought by either Pieter Coning I or by Pieter de Coning II, the son of Aert de Conincx of INVNO 161, although one would have expected the clerk to distinguish I and II if they were both buyers. In the NOTES I assume that all purchases by Pieter Coning were made by Pieter Coning I, but the possibility should be kept in mind that some of them were actually bought by Pieter ‎(de)‎ Coning II. Note finally that the individual named Pieter Conincx who stood surety for Daniel Conincx when he bought a lot on 15 March 1610 ‎(R 27979)‎ was probably Pieter Coning II, the son of Aert de Coninck II.
