Text of Sotheby's saleː Dr. Marion Lisken-Pruss included this work in her dissertation on the artist as a work by Gonzales Coques, done in collaboration with Peeter Gysels, and with Anton Ghering or Wilhelm Schubert van Ehrenberg. Her dating of circa 1670-75 is confirmed by the costumes worn by the sitters, as well as the hair styles of the female sitters. She compares it with two other late portrait groups by Coques: the Portrait of an Antwerp Almoner with his Family of circa 1670, and the 'Portrait of Clara Rubens and her Family'. Marjorie Wieseman’s suggestion that the architecture is by Wilhelm Schubert van Ehrenberg, with whom Coques collaborated in other pictures, is more plausible than the attribution to Ghering, who died in 1668. The old attribution of the landscape and animals to Pieter Gijsels, who liked to paint on copper supports, is however convincinɡ.
