History※

It was commissioned by Anne Antheunis (1545-1621), widow of Alexander I Goubau, (1540-1614), grand almoner of Antwerp, shortly after her husband's death. She intended is as an ex voto for their joint funeral monument, in the——cathedral's masons' chapel.

It was complete by 1621, "the date of Anne's death."
