Support; and this painting also by Aersten is a FP. – Hamid Hassani (talk) 02:52, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I am neutral on voting. The source link says "This painting is an old copy of the original kept in Naples at the Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte". I assume the original painting is the infobox image in This version of the article. I think the fact that the nom image (which is currently the infobox image) is a "copy of the original" should be stated in the article (and on the file page).

Comment – The wording "old copy" is confusing. Often, an artist made several versions of a painting (e.g. Munch's Scream). If this "copy" can be credited to Bruegel, I'll support. --Janke | Talk 06:13, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Legacy section of the article has a paragraph on copies, and no mention that "Bruegel the Elder" did a copy. It says his son "Brueghel the Younger" did a copy around 1616 (the father died in 1569). This source says the nom version was done by the son (I am not sure about the reliability of the source though). BTW, the original [1] and the copy [2] have differences, for instance see the lower left corner. Bammesk (talk) 01:17, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
