## Commentary

Cornelis van Haarlem completed this painting in 1592 for the Prinsenhof in Haarlem, the stadholder&#39;s quarter in the city. &lt;A onclick=&#34;return OpenOther\(&#39;/html/d/durer/2/13/2/042.html&#39;\)&#34; HREF=&#34;/html/d/durer/2/13/2/042.html&#34;&gt;Dürer&#39;s engraving&lt;/A&gt; served as a model for the composition, but Cornelis modified those idealised figures to make them fit the taste of his own day.
