Lot 18: Carstiaen Luyckx (Antwerp 1623-?1653)

A garland of roses, carnations, snowdrops, honeysuckle, morning glory and other flowers around a stone cartouche with a coat-of-arms oil on canvas, unframed 36 x 29 in. (91.5 x 73.6 cm.) NOTES We are grateful to Mr. Fred Meijer of the RKD for the attribution, given on the basis of photographs; he dates the work to fairly late in the artist's career, following the artist's presumed departure from Antwerp in the 1650s, and possibly painted in France. The coat-of-arms would appear to be a later addition, presumably painted over another image.
