-----
The catalogue includes all the portraits by Maes of sitters who can be identified, whether these portraits are in existence or are known only from sale catalogues. It includes also the unidentified portraits whose present whereabouts is known to the author, or which he has himself seen at sales or in exhibitions without knowing where to find them now, and also the portraits in earlier sales which are described with precision or, above all, which are dated. But all other imperfectly described portraits in old sales and exhibitions have been omitted.
