LDV may have been the author of the landscape elements in this tapestry, as in 1685 tapestry maker Willem van Leefdael possessed several of his landscape cartoons (see BROSENS, K., A contextual study of Brussels tapestry, 1670-1770. The dye works and tapestry workshop of Urbanus Leyniers (KONINKLIJKE VLAAMSE ACADEMIE VAN BELGIË, Nieuwe reeks, n° 13), 2004, p.97).
