There are many variants of this painting of Mariemont Castle (Ertz 1979, Diaz Padron 1992). See for example Archduke Albert before Mariemont Castle, Germany, the Richmond Landscape with Archduke Albert and Mariemont Castle, and the Madrid The Archdukes and Company before Mariemont Castle. Ertz implies that the Richmond version is the prime (Ertz 1979, p. 177).
The present work is really immense for Jan, surely one of the largest that he did independently.
