Baburen

In July 2011, the BBC TV programme Fake or Fortune investigated a copy of Dirck van Baburen 's The Procuress owned by the Courtauld Institute. citation Opinion had been divided as to whether it was a 17th-century studio work or a van Meegeren fake.

Vermeer's mother-in-law Maria Thins owned Dirck van Baburen 's 1622 oil-on-canvas The Procuress (or a copy of it), which appears in the background of two of Vermeer's paintings.
