Burchard's early view, shared by Roberto Longhi and Christopher Norris, was that this was an early work by Rubens; this he came to reject. In the files of the Rubenianum is recorded his view that it could be the work of Cornelis de Vos and identified with De Verwoestighe van Jacob met den Angel, listed by de Vos in the inventory of Jeremias Wildens who died in Antwerp in 1653, (see J. Denuc, De Antwerpsche 'konstkamers': inventarissen van kunst verzamelingente Antwerpen, etc., The Hague, 1932, p. 166). Mller Hofstede, loc. cit., rejected the attribution to Rubens.
