Information from British Museum website: Copy after Pieter Bruegel's drawing in Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin, inv.no.5763. Another sheet in Berlin (inv.no.13214) seems to be a copy after the BM sheet. The inscription on the back of the drawing probably refers to the title on the Berlin sheet "Basrode" (Baasrode near Dendermonde in Belgium)."
