Rubens’ paid ordered paintings where as rule works with history thematic, including sacred and legendary narratives, and everyday scenes. The artist made portrait paintings principally of his close circle of relatives and friends, and also a vast number of self-portraits. In later years of his life, Rubens worked on numerous landscape paintings.

Works from his studio can be classified into 3 major groups: number one that Rubens painted by himself, number two that he worked practically, and number three that he only observed as his pupils painted them from his preparatory drawings or sketches.
Rubens also as other painters of his time frequently contracted parts of whole painting such elements as particular animal or flowers in large canvas to Jacob Jordaens, Frans Snyders or some other else painter.
