Catalogue Note
The composition is based on Jan Breughel the Younger's signed original in the Szepmüveszeti Museum, Budapest (see K. Ertz, Jan Breughel the Younger, Freren 1984, p. 274, no. 90 where he lists 5 other accepte🔴d versions).
Dr Klaus Ertz has proposed an attribution to 'the Monogrammist IHB', a yet to be identified artist active in the circle of the Younger Brueghel by whom he has identified a further ten or so works (private correspondence with the owner of the painting dated 22 December 2006).
