NOTE

We are grateful to Dr Jean-Pierre de Bruyn who has kindly suggested the attribution to the Studio of Jan Erasmus Quellinus on the basis of a photograph.

The style and execution of this composition also shows resemblances to that of a signed work by the father, Erasmus Quellinus the Younger (1601-1678) showing The Holy Family of 1659, in the Musée de Dunkerque, Dunkerque (inv. no. 216).
