Attributed to Hieronymus Francken II (Antwerp 1578-1623)

The first letter of the monogram could be an H or an A; three members of the Francken dynasty were called Ambrosius, but the present work does not seem stylistically to fit with the work of Ambrosius II. No safely attributable works by the other two Ambrosiuses are apparently known.
