This series is mentioned in a document of 1766 that mentions Léonard Roby acquired six paintings paintings after Wouverman and Van Falens. Roby was a prolific and highly skilled weaver who was active in Aubusson between 1750 and 1789. The design of the this pair of tapestries is based on an engraving by Jacques Philippe Lebas after a painting by Karel van Falens (d. 1733).
