Version of Ertz 1979 #56, with slightly different proportions. See there for other related work. I'm calling this a "b" work which I'm thinking of as produced in Jan's studio possibly concurrently with the prime version but with a lesser degree of work by JB himself. The figures on this one, and a few places where animals are integrated into scene, just look less right than one that's in a private collection.
