拍品专文

An identical composition with almost identical measurements is documented in the collection of G.B. Lanz, Chateau du Grand Clos, Rennaz, Switserland, as 'Frans Francken II' (oil on panel, 72 x 118 cm.) The artist with monogram 'AB' must have been working close to Frans Francken II and his studio.
