This small painting seems to be in rather poor condition and I hesitate about making an attribution; however, it certainly does derive from Jan's drawing in the Museum Boymans-van Beuningen in Rotterdam (inv. # Jan Brueghel de Oude 5, 20.1 x 28.8). The drawing is dated 1596. See W.W. Robinson in Washington/New York 1986-87, cat. #22.
