Wilhelm Valentine Volz (1865-1953) whose family was from Faribault, Minnesota, went to art school at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München, where he no doubt saw the original Rubens in the Alte Pinakothek and made this copy.
 
Oil on Canvas with 1885 stretchers - in a 19th century gilt frame with a grape motif. 
Signed along the lower right, with both "P.P. Rubens" and "W.V. Volz".
 
30 3/4" x width: 25 1/2 " Framed; height: 42 " x width: 36 1/2 " x depth: 4 "
 
Condition: No major losses to the painting. There is a thick varnish throughout, making it difficult to discern the extent of any possible repairs. There are several evident areas of inpainting along the lips and hair of the figure as well as along the elbow. The spot along the elbow corresponds to ta patch along the verso of the canvas. Craquelure throughout. Wear including losses to the gilt wood/plaster frame.
