Extensive Wooded Landscape with Cephalus and Procris

Oil on copper, 26 x 33 cm

Cephalus and Procris were in Greek mythology a young couple, newly married, whose love was destined to end in tragedy. The figures in the painting are probably by another hand most likely to be Alsloot's principle collaborator, Henderick de Clerck.
