Lot Essay

Though this painting was long thought to be by David Vinckboons, we are grateful to Dr. Klaus Ertz for endorsing the attribution to Adriaen van Stalbemt on the basis of photographs. He dates the painting to the early 1620s, a few years after the artist was named dean of the Antwerp painters guild. A copy of this expertise, dated 28 April 2021, is available upon request.
