The loose and spontaneous handling of the chalk and the freely applied grey wash are closely comparable to those in Two fighting cocks by d'Hondecoeter in the Kupferstichkabinett der Hamburger Kunsthalle (A. Stefes, Niederländische Zeichnungen 1450-1850, Cologne, Weimar and Vienna, 2011, III, no. 449).
