Literature

D. Jaffé, Summary Catalogue of European Paintings in the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, 1997, p. 132, reproduced (as Paul de Vos).
Catalogue Note
The vast majority of De Vos' works have spent most or part of their life attributed to Frans Snyders, his brother-in-law, and this painting is no exception. Not until after the Westminster sale in 1959 (see Provenance) was the present lot re-attributed to De Vos.
The young stag and foremost dog recur in exactly the same form in a work that sold London, Sotheby's, April 27, 2006, lot 71 (as Circle of Paul de Vos).
