Hairs related this work to work 'n° 119' from Daniel Seghers' inventory. This work was described in the diary of Philippe Chifflet (from the entourage of Cardinal Infante Ferdinand of Spain). Chifflet noted that Ferdinand visited Seghers in his studio where this work was presented to him (See: G. Wilmers, Corneli Schut (1597-1655): a Flemish Painter of the High Baroque, Belgium 1996, pp. 172-73). This is a great collaboration between two specialists in their genre: Schut's free 'Rubenesque' figuration is broken by Segher's hyperrealism and bright use of colour. Although the two painters retain their individuality and their own style, they reinforced each other in this work and built a composition together. (Schut and Seghers worked together several times during this period, resulting in several cartouches with putti).

ermano stroiffi
Ermanno Stroiffi (Padua 1616-1693 Venice) Saint Peter and Saint John in adoration in front of the infant Jesus Oil on slate 48.5 x 26 cm Provenance: collection Lars Ericsson; Galerie Canesso, Paris This notable slate painting blends two iconographic traditions: the Virgin from a painting by Lelio Orsi, and the image of the profile of the Virgin receiving the blessing of the infant Jesus. The association of these two evangelists is quite unusual, linked to the devotion of the patron. The original figures of the two saints and the child’s traits connected this painting to Ermano Stroiffi’s work, a well-established artist from Padova. He worked under Bernardo Strozzi's guidance in his Venice studio. The researcher Cristante (1997, p. 109) states that he was Giovanni Stroiffi’s son, a renowned Flemish painter established in Padova.
