oil on canvas laid down on panel, a fragment

Catalogue Note

Taught by his father Willem van Veerendael, Nicolaes became a member of the Antwerp guild of St. Luke in 1657. His talent was highly regarded, but due to his slow working practise he lived a meagre existence.

This fragment is probably the lower right corner of a larger composition of a cartouche embellished with swags of flowers in the corners.
