Lot 20: Pieter Casteels II (c.1650-after 1674 Antwerp)

A capriccio of a port with numerous figures and shipping oil on canvas 113/4 x 161/2 in. (29.8 x 42 cm.) NOTES The architectural background is taken from an engraving by Nicola de Bruyn after a lost work by David Vinckboons (see K. Goosens, David Vinckboons, Soest, 1977, p. 12, fig. 3). Another version, with the same background, but with differences in the figures and omitting the tree in the middle ground, is in the Louvre, Paris.
