Catalogue Note
Attributions within the Blarenberghe family can be very hard to establish with certainty. In this case, however, the unusual subject-matter, and the figure types suggest that the most likely author is Jacques Guillaume (also known as Jacobus) van Blarenberghe, by whom a signed set of gouaches representing the four seasons were sold, London, Christie's, 9 December 1980, lots 158-161.
