Catalogue raisonné: Description in Flemish paintings C. 1600-C. 1800 III, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, 2010, cat.no. 15: 

Technical notes: The support consists of a single
piece of plain weave fabric. The painting has been lined
and mounted on a non-original stretcher.
The ground completely covers the texture of the fabric.
The paint layer has been applied opaquely. The
trunk of the tree and the sections of the foliage in the
background have been painted into the reserve left for
them. Some of the foliage has been painted over the sky.
The foliage has the same shape as in no. 13. The flesh
tones of the woman sitting in the foreground are finely
modelled. Details in the animals are in impasto. The
highlights have been rendered in impasto using a great
deal of white pigment on the brush against a dry surface
to create texture (see also nos. 13 and 14). Reserves were
left for the trees and the the sky was painted and some
foliage added later. The foliage is now brown, probably
the result of changes in the green colour. The background
has been painted with a sfumato technique. The
renderings of the figures and animals are finely detailed
with well integrated and modelled blends of tones. The
palette comprises red, blue, white and earth pigments as
well as the green that has since changed colour. The
painting underwent conservation treatment in 1930.
