Ertz 1979 #118 is loosely inspired by this composition. A variant of this was sold Sotheby's London July 12 2001 #26 (panel, 26.5 x 36) as attributed to Brueghel, but without an Ertz certificate. This is also related to Ertz 1979 #2a, in Vienna. These compositions are closely intertwined with works by Coninxloo, including one in Vaduz dated 1598.
