拍場告示
A similar tapestry with a boar hunt was offered anonymously, Sotheby's, London, 30 October 2002, lot 36 and was attributed to Hendrik Mattens who was active in the late 16th early 17th Century. The date line for lot 159 should thus read late 16th early 17th Century.
We thank Dr. Guy Delmarcel for pointing out the comparable work.
