Note:
The painting has an identical scene as the one made by Jan I BRUEGHEL (1568-1625), titled "Veldkamp in een open plek" created by Brueghel in 1607. Considering the date on the copper plate, which predates Brueghels work by two years, it would suggest that Jan Brueghel copied his work after this painting.
