A early collaboration with very little input by Jan Brueghel. Dr. Honig also believes it's possible that the painting is not genuine, however it is worth considering that Jan did paint small portions of the piece or that members of his studio did.
There is the mark of Pieter Stas and the city of Antwerp on the back of the copper panel.
