Specialist note

The staffage in this painting has traditionally been ascribed to Adriaen van de Velde, with whom de Moucheron collaborated on many occassions. However, Marijke de Kinkelder has suggested an alternative attribution for the figures in the right foreground, to Johannes Lingelbach (RKD archive, Art-work no. 49942). This painting has been identified as a pendant to a painting in the Natale Labia collection, which was exhibited at Wildenstein, London, April-May 1978, in which the figures have also been ascribed to van de Velde.
