Witt was the first to describe this as Dutch; Lugt recognized it as a copy from Moeyaert. Tümpel has located a painting and three drawings by Moeyaert of this subject (Tümpel 1974, p. 251, cat. no. 41 and figs. 222-24), none precisely like the Bowdoin model. The story is recounted in Genesis 37:25-28.
