Willem Drost’s recognized lifetime output of artwork is very small, while Rembrandt is credited with more than 2,000 paintings and etchings, the majority of which are not signed.
Drost had evolved into one of Rembrandt’s most talented disciples, so much so that his 1654 painting titled: Portrait of a Young Woman with her Hands Folded on a Book was one of the ones attributed to Rembrandt for more than 300 years.
The exact year of Willem Drost’s death is unknown, however, the last reference to him is in 1680 when he was witness to an inventory of the possessions of Jan van Spijckvoort in the Dutch city of Rotterdam.

 Apple industry's future depends on a united effort
Drost, who has been one of the most visible and vocal proponents of Washington's new apple and pear marketing cooperatives, believes alliances hold the key to dealing successfully and profitably with the megaretailers.
Drost believes there will be a place in the industry for some small-scale niche players--those who have a special product for a special market--but not for midsize packers.
Drost expects Red Delicious to remain Washington's number one variety for some time, and notes that it's a good variety for growers because it is easy to produce high yields of quality fruit.

Although once a well-known Rembrandt, there is now a strong consensus that this canvas was painted about 1654—55 by his pupil, Willem Drost (1633—1659).
The subject (which is rare in Northern Europe) and composition appear to have been inspired by a recent Italian example such as Domenichino's "Cumaean Sibyl" of 1616—1617 in the Galleria Borghese, Rome.
Drost worked in Italy from 1655 until his early death.
