Tin can?
editDespite its title, the article discusses two paintings, the Laughing Boy with a Flute and the so-called "Boy with a Glass and Tin Can". In Dutch, the "Boy with a Glass and Tin Can" is known as the Jongen met glas en tinnen kan, but a tinnen kan is not a tin can. Hint:
-
Pewter tankard (in Dutch: tinnen kan) -
Tin can
Is the painting really called Boy with a Glass and Tin Can by people who have looked at the painting and speak English? References? Thanks.

- Reply to self – the Netherlands Institute for Art History (RKD) has Boy with a glass and a pewter jug on its English page for the picture (jug being another translation for kan). -- Frans Fowler (talk) 12:13, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
- It seems we do not know where the "tin can" name for picture comes from. I am changing "tin can" to the "a pewter jug" (as in the RKD's name) in this and other articles. -Frans Fowler (talk) 15:16, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
