Note: The work comes with a dendrochronology report carried out by Prof. Dr Peter Klein of Hamburg University, "earliest felling date can be derived for the year 1607, more plausible is a felling date between 1611..1613....1617+x. With a minimum of 2 years for seasoning an earliest creation of the painting is possible from 1609 upwards". A print of the same subject dating to 1631 can be found in various institutional collections.
