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.
