Could be a studio piece, but not done by Jan himself. It must have been done by someone with access to the drawings used in the Hague Paradise Landscape (& others), but there are numeral moments were the coherence of the animals break down and the brushstrokes are not used the way Jan uses then to give life and motion to a work. However, this was also probably not done by Jan Brueghel the Younger, who painted entirely different paradise landscapes.
