A virtually identical tapestry after David Teniers II is illustrated in H. Göbel, Tapestries of the Lowlands, New York, 1924, fig. 315.
According to H. C. Marillier, in Handbook to the Teniers Tapestries, London, 1932, pg. 12, pl. 16b, Judocus (or Josse) de Vos was one of the most prolific weavers active in Brussels during the first part of the 18th century. He was best known in connection with the military tapestries which were commissioned by the Duke of Marlborough for Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire.
The 6th Earl of Portsmouth, who succeeded his father in 1891, inherited the estates of Hurstbourne in Hampshire and Eggesford in Devon. Hurstbourne was badly damaged in a fire this same year and the 6th Earl was occupied by the enormous task of rebuilding the house in a Jacobean manner reminscent of Sandringham. During this period land on the Eggesford Estate was gradually sold off, culminating in its sale in 1914 and eventual dismantlement following the death of 6th Earl in 1917. (G. Worsley, 'Farleigh House, Hampshire, the Seat of the Earl of Portsmouth', Country Life, 16 Jÿune 1994, p. 63-64).
