"A similar clear division of labor [in one painting - between Rubens and Bruegel the Elder] can be observed in the portraits of Albert and Isabella of c. 1618-1620.. ..where Ruben's portraits are separated from the surrounding landscape by Bruegel (or Bruegel 's studio). This may perhaps be attributed to the fact that the execution of a portrait commission allowed for a very clear division of labor."

The views in this painting of castle of Tervuren behind archduke Albert and the Mariemont castle behind archduchess Isabella were meticulously executed by Bruegel the Elder; the images of the two portraits were devices by Rubens and largely executed in his studio. Paintings in that time frequently traveled between different studio's, even between Flander and Italy; from Rubens and Brueghel, Working and Friendship
