Frans Snyders, Cocks-Fighting

In the same direction after the Berlin picture of 1615 purchased in 1845 (Robels 204 I. along with color plate VII). The part of the farm and its trees placed back right somewhat changed. The symbolic griffin in the air mentioned by Robels visible neither on the illustration there nor here in the engraving.

„ Best her Niemeyer, De prenten zijn vanmiddag in goede staat gearriveerd. Alleen al het uitpakken is een genot! Ze zien er prachtig uit (vooral The Idel ’prentice is een juweel) … Wat dat betreft, zijn eigenlijk alle prenten die u mij hebt toegezonde, van uitstekende kwaliteit … “

(de heer P. E., 1. Februar 2008)
