專家說明
Despite its old attribution to Erasmus II Quellinus, this drawing can be confidently given to his son, Jan Erasmus. Entirely similar in technique, and also comparable in the way the putti are drawn is a design for an altarpiece, signed and dated 1667, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (inv. no. 62.147). The design cannot be related to a known ceiling, but the commission appears to have been a rather prestigious one; the regal bird of prey holding a sceptre and sword appear to be the Prussian eagle.
