Ertz suggested that this work, a tempera/watercolor on paper, could have been a study for Jan's part of the painting after Rubens showed him what he was going to do. But the two had been working together for a decade without such props, which would in any event be completely uncharacteristic for Jan. Without further examination of the actual object, I can only suggest that this very odd work is a later copy after the Paris painting.
