Provenance
Acquired in Brussels circa 1958 by the current owner's parents and thence by descent

The present composition is related broadly, in reverse, to the composition which can be found in an engraving by Hendrick Hondius after Jan Wildens, dated 1614 and entitled 'JANUARIUS' (fig. 1). The city of Antwerp can be seen in the background. A further related canvas with numerous differences from the engraving by Jan Wildens, 53.3 x 34.1 cm., is in the Musei di Strada Nuova, Genoa.
