François-Joseph Huijgens was a Belgian game and still-life painter who trained at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in his native Brussels, where he was strongly influenced by the techniques of Renaissance and Baroque painters. He exhibited regularly in Belgium as well as in Paris and London.
We are grateful to Fred G. Meijer for suggesting the attribution to Huijgens on the basis of photographs.
