Catalogue Note
Seghers and Schut worked together on two nearly identical versions of this composition – the other version is more rectangular (110 x 140 cm.) and was with Robert Finck Gallery, Brussels, in circa 1960. They were both discovered on the art market by Hairs, who related this painting to no. 135 of Seghers' inventory.
