Catalogue raisonné: Description in Flemish paintings C. 1600-C. 1800 III, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, 2010, cat.no. 18: 

Technical notes: The support consists of a single
piece of plain weave fabric. The painting has been lined.
All four sides have been trimmed to fit the current strainer.
The canvas has been prepared with a reddish ground
that completely covers the texture of the support. The
paint layer is applied thickly and opaquely. Details of the
animals have been executed in impasto. The highlights
have been rendered in impasto using a brush with abundant
white pigment against a dry underlying surface to
produce a textural effect. The mountains in the background
have been rendered in sfumato.
Finely detailed rendering of figures and animals with
well integrated and finely modulated mixtures of pigments.
The technique partly resembles nos. 13, 14 and
15. The painting underwent conservation treatment in
1984.

Executed by Pieter van Bloemen or a collaborator.
