Literature
H. Robels, Frans Snyders: Stilleben und Tiermaler; 1579–1657, Munich, 1989, p. 173-4, no.5, ill
Robels dates the present work to circa 1610, and suggests that the figure of the maid is possibly by another hand (see Literature). A related drawing, in which the composition has been extended to include the figure of a man holding game, is now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (ibid pp. 406-7, cat. no. Z3, ill.).
