| Notes | Identifed as an early work of Jacob Jordaens by Roger d'Hulst. The laughing African man depicted as one of the Magi is "the living proof that only Europeans were under the moderating influence of civilization", as according to contemporary European observers they "laughed savagely yet innocently aloud", hence they were commonly associated with comic roles. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
