This has been attributed as a collaboration with Rottenhammer before and is at the RKD under Rottenhammer, but it is now accepted by Werche as having figures by Van Balen.
Jan's role is quite substantial in this work: the landscape, the whole background history with all its figures, the animals, sll by Jan. Werche says that it's all by Van Balen but she had not seen a good reproduction.
Ertz, p.479, says that Jan did the landscape first and then gave the painting to Van Balen to fill in the figures; if this is true, it would reverse the order of working that he had used for instance with Rottenhammer.
This work was displayed in Maastricht at TEFAF in 2005.
