A fascinating copy/variant of this work was painted by Frans Francken: Harting 1989, p.50 & #275a. It was exhibited Munich 2013, cat. # 39: copper, 27 x 40.8; Munich, Bayer. Staatsgem.sam., inv. #1879. This would be a very early work by Francken, before he was even a master in the guild, and suggests his strong early connections to Brueghel's studio.
