[edit] The Happy Couple

Can anyone find a good source that this painting was definitively attributed to Leyster? I am familiar that this was suspected, but I understood it wasn't definitive. She isn't widely credited for it now, and perhaps because its considered a relatively insignificant work, it hasn't been easy for me to verify this.

[edit] guild member

This says: "By 1633, she was a member of the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke, one of only two women (the other was a house painter) who gained entrance into the group. "

Franits, Wayne, Dutch Seventeenth-Century Genre Painting, Yale UP, 2004, ISBN 0300102372, says she was the first woman to join - not necessarily contradictory, but can anyone confirm the facts? Johnbod 12:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
