This is an awful painting. It is by somebody who knows the Munich Fall of Man and other, later paradise paintings by Jan: it has the Rubens lion and other later animals. The figure painter is totally inept. Yet it almost certainly must have emerged from Jan's workshop because, as noted in Munich 2013 p.154, and infrared examination of their painting shows that the donkey at the left edge was originally positioned like the one in the present work; therefore the painter must have known the earlier original at a preliminary stage of its production.
