One year after his death, Jacob Jordaens' son donated "twenty-five Flemish pounds to the Camer van den Huysarmen in Antwerp." Also included in this donation was "The Washing and Anointing of the Body of Christ" which was given to an orphanage of girls. Apparently this was all done in following correspondence with a will that Jacob Jordaens left behind, a document yet to be found. Even without the finding of Jordaen's will, his kindness has been recognized by those who knew him. There are many other found documents that note his admiration by others.
