In Bruns´s (?) collection as by the Venetian Jacopo Bassano (c. 1510-1592). P. Pouncey´s seems to be the recent anonymous hand that has noted on the modern museum mount: Cavedone? While the figures recall those found in many of Bassano´s paintings, the robust handling of the media is unmistakably that of the Bolognese painter Giacomo Cavedone, who must have copied them from a composition of Bassano.
