Ingrid Weber tentatively attributes the plaquette to Paulus van Vianen, but was unable to inspect it. JR ter Molen believes it unlikely, to be from the hand of Paulus, but attributes it to a follower of his brother, Adam. He cites various similarities between this plaquette and the work of Adam van Vianen.
