Peter van den Brink, juni 2004 ved besøg på Studiesalen: "According to Boon, the drawing can be compared with the verso of inv. 5280 of the Lugt collection. Both drawings do actually have the appearance of a straightforward copy. However, I see no direct reason to believe that the same draughtsman made them. The Copenhagen drawing is quite handsome, though. There is a second version of this composition in the Uffenbach Collection in Göttingen.
This drawing is of a lesser quality than the Copenhagen drawing. As Girgensohn pointed out, however, the Göttingen drawing was not copied after the one in Copenhagen. Therefore there are too many minor differences. No doubt, both drawings were based on a common source. It is interesting to note that this subject was taken up so often by Antwerp artists from this period. Apart from two paintings, no less than seven drawings are listed with this altogether not too often depicted theme.
The two drawings in Göttingen and Copenhagen are very close to the large Tüchlein in the Vienna Academy in set-up, especially in the relation between figures and architectural surroundings. A miniature in a French Book of Hours, the so-called Rosenwald Hours in the Library of Congress in Washington from 1524 (Ms. 52, fol. 30v) follows the composition of the two sheets as well. This miniaturist, hence called the Rosenwald Master, based several of his miniatures on Antwerp mannerist drawings."
