Only a small group of works by this rare artist is recorded, often influenced by the earlier Flemish genre works of David Teniers II; for other examples see A. Montballieu, 'Een "Vastenavond" van J.B. Monteyne', Jaarboek van het Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten Antwerpen, XII, 1972, pp. 279-284. The present composition is indebted to the river landscapes of Jan Brueghel the Elder (see K. Ertz, Jan Brueghel der Ältere: Die Gemälde, Lingen, 2008, pp. 229-289), without apparently having any direct prototype in Brueghel's oeuvre.
