Anthony Van Dyck by Lionel Cust, pages 17 and 235.
"Foremost among Van Dyck's friends was Frans Snyders, the animal painter, whose delicate wistful face Van Dyck took a special pleasure in painting. Van Dyck painted him and his wife, Margaretha De Vos, together in one picture, now in the Cassell Gallery; also companion portraits of Snyders and his wife, which were formerly in the Orleans Collection, and are now separated, the portrait of Snyders finding a home in the collection of the Earl of Carlisle at Castle Howard, and that of his wife at Warwick Castle."
