Ertz thinks that this work is the pendant to Ertz 2008-10 cat. #354; Werche agrees.

Copy sold Paris (Tajan) June 22, 2006, #18 as Jan the Younger and studio of Van Balen (panel, 53.5 x 81).

Ertz originally thought that Snyders was involved in the execution of this work but Robels disputed that. There is a Hollar print related to the hunting gear in this painting.
