In The Collection: The Gothenburg Museum of Art (2014), curator Björn Fredlund wrote about this painting: "These relatively large figures were the ones Rubens chose to do himself. The upper parts of the paintings, with their prospects of various battlefields, he left to Peeter Snayers, a specialist in battle painting who was based in Brussels. The large trees that frame the figures were probably painted by the landscapist Lodewijk de Vadder, who lived in the same city".
