I have to say that I've given up trying to "feel" out paintings. There
are more than a few that I've seen that individually "feel" like later
works (and I can't call any to mind at the moment, I'm sure that
they'll come to me -- ah, this one by Paris Bordone

has a Victorian feel to it, but so do many of his other works) but when
taken as a body of work, it's easy to see that it's probably just a
stylistic thing.
It's still fun, even if I end up wrong. ;)
The one you cited -- the skin tone on the hands vs. the chest & face is
so different, I'm wondering if there's any chance it was redone at a
later time?
One of my favorite paintings had some rework done on it at some point --
St. Elegius and the lovers had a halo put on St. E. but it was taken off
in conservation a few years ago.

Snow ants are of course snow white, and travel in huge packs, are quite
invisible against the snow. Usually, the only way to know they're nearby
is when moose disappear in a puff of white with a little spattering of
red. "The Great Canadian Wallpaper Festival" by Tempus Peregrinator
