This painting was formerly attributed to Jan Fyt but is now identified as the work of Fyt's pupil, Pieter Boel, who specialised in painting animals and still life, occasionally in collaboration with other artists. Boel worked mainly in Antwerp but moved to Paris in 1668 where he was employed as a designer of animals for the Gobelins tapestry works.
