Provenance: Belgian private collection.

For a very similar composition see the 'Adoration of the Kings' attributed to Coffermans which was sold by Marc-Arthur Kohn, Paris, on 31 May 2001 as lot 4. Marcellus Coffermans took his cue from the great Flemish painters of the 15th century.

It continues, “The strange thing about the artist, Coffermans, is that he apparently was able to succeed at a time when Frans Floris and Marten de Vos were the main exponents, rather than P. Brueghel...”.
