P. J. J. van Thiel, Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem 1562-1638, A Monograph and Catalogue Raisonné, Doornspijk 1999, p. 487, under "Rejected Attributions"

Catalogue Note

According to van Thiel (see Literature below) the present composition is based on an Agostino Carracci print of 1518 (Bartsch I; Bohlin 25). He also feels that the figure of Death was added by another artist at a slightly later date.
