How does Portrait of the Trip Sisters elucidate its Provenance?
It originally hung in the corner room on the first floor of the Trippenhuis's southern wing - Hendrik Trip occupied the north wing The Rijksmuseum was housed in the Trippenhuis from 1816 to 1885 and the main hall was divided into two in 1858 to place Rembrandt's The Night Watch and Bartholomeus van der Helst's Meal of the Schutters opposite each other, which may have been the occasion when both the chimney-piece works were added to the Rijksmuseum collection.
