Catalogue Note
Another version, attributed to Van Oosten, was sold Amsterdam, Christie's, 8 November 1999, lot 128. This attribution was based on a signed work recorded with Galerie Robert Finck, Brussels in 1976 (see Y. Thiéry and K. de Meerendre, Les peintres flamands de paysage au XVIIe siecle. Le baroque anversois et l'école bruxelloise, 1987, p. 248).
