Lot Essay

Frans Ykens was apprenticed to his uncle Osaias Beert I in 1613-14 before becoming a member of the Antwerp guild of Saint Luke in 1630. His oeuvre is diverse, consisting of small-scale floral still lifes, large figural compositions and floral wreaths with religious medallions in the style of Daniel Seghers, as in the present lot.
