Quast worked in the cosmopolitan milieus of Amsterdam and The Hague. His paintings, finished drawings, and a few terra-cotta reliefs reflect awareness of the comic stage and artists as varied as Adriaen Brouwer, Jacques Callot, Adriaen van de Venne, and Pieter Codde. This panel was long attributed to Codde but it is typical of Quast in the late 1630s.
