Condition
The panel is uncradled, slightly bowed, and stable. The panel appears to be made up of two planks, the vertical join of which is visible running the height of the panel along the centre of the composition, with associated retouching. The paint surface is clean and varnish slightly discoloured. A repaired vertical split which runs the height of the panel is visible circa 10cm. from the right margin. There are three retouched, vertical splits starting along the left side of the upper edge, one which runs down to the centre of the composition, and the others which measure approx. 10cm. and 5cm. There are also repaired splits starting along the lower edge approx. 20cm. either side of the central join and measuring approx. 15cm and 10cm. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals these, as well as retouchings along all four edges, but there are very few in the main composition - scattered in the lowest left and most upper right circular scenes. In overall good condition.

A version given to Jan Brueghel the Younger, Hendrick van Balen the Younger and Frans Francken the Younger, with exactly the same biblical scenes but differences in the floral garland was recorded at the Witt Archive, London, in 1988, as in the collection of Viscount Hampden at Glynde Palace. We are grateful to Dr. Fred G. Meijer for endorsing the attribution to the Studio of Frans Francken the Younger upon first-hand inspection.
