Virgin and Child (Nursing Madonna) within a Garland of Flowers
Oil on panel
29 x 25 cm
Confirming the attribution, there are several paintings by Jan Brueghel the Younger where the flowers in the garland are arranged in a very similar manner, demonstrating the existence of a basic design for his paintings and his workshop. One such comparative example can be found in the painting by Jan Brueghel II and Hendrick van Balen, Flower Garland with Madonna and Child, sold at the Dorotheum in Vienna on the 25th of April 2017.
