Among the ten works included in Jacquemart’s portfolio of etchings celebrating the founding purchase of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print after the painting by Jordaens (71.11) is the most complex multi-figural composition. Critics for the "Art Journal" heralded the etcher’s achievement in the plate, declaring, "We have rarely seen an etching of such a subject that has given us greater satisfaction."
