Attributed to Claes Moeyaert (Amsterdam 1592-1655)

Despite the traditional attribution to Moyaert, no direct correlation with one of his finished prints or pictures has yet been found. There are, however, some similarities in reverse with a painting of the same subject by Jan Symonsz. Pynas (1581/82-1631) in the Museum in Aschaffenburg (A. Tümpel, 'Claes Cornelisz. Moeyaert', Oud Holland, LXXXVIII, 1974, p. 53, fig. 73).
