British Museum website: "A similar group of figures can be seen in the painting 'Path along a Brook' in Schloß Schleißheim (part of the Staatsgemäldesammlungen). The female figure offering a drink can also be seen in 'Landscape with a Village Inn' in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich, inv.no.826. It is not clear if this drawing is a preparatory study, or rather copied from one of the paintings.Literature: K. Ertz, "Jan Brueghel der Ältere: Die Gemälde", Cologne, 1979, cat.nos. 206 and 290; A.
