Lot Essay

The younger brother of the painter Jan van Uyttenbroeck (c. 1581-1651), who was accepted into the Guild of St Luke in The Hague in 1614, Moses van Uyttenbroeck is best known for his pastoral scenes, sometimes depicting themes from the Old Testament and Classical mythology or as evident in the present work, representations of nymphs resting among grazing animals.
