The attribution is based on comparison with the signed picture which was with Malmedé, Cologne, 1936 (see P.F.J.J. Reelick, Bijdrage tot Identificatie van de Meester der Winterlandschappen, (G. Leytens?), Oud Holland, LIX, 1942, p. 79, no. 16) and with the picture of a landscape in rain in the Herzog Anton-Ulrich Museum in Brunswick (see Reelick, op.cit., p. 78, no. 1, fig. 7)
