K. Ertz, Jan Brueghel d.J., Freren, 1984, p. 231, no. 49, ill. col. pl. 10
Ertz suggests that the present work was produced in the 1630s in close proximity to three other small coppers by the artist (op. cit. cat. 77, 59 and 48). The composition is based on Jan Brueghel the Elder's 'Modern Waterlandscapes' which depicted borrowed motifs in a novel and original grouping (K. Ertz, Jan Brueghel der Ältere (1568-1625), 1979, pp. 179-191.
