Regarding the compositional symmetry, this drawing recalls the Utrecht School with it's most famous represants Abraham Bloemaert (1566-1651) and Gerard van Honthorst (1592-1656).
Though the rendering and style of this charming genre drawing come close to the Haarlem School and especially the facial expressions and hats show closely related stylistic links to Leendert van der Cooghen (1632-1681).
