Very little is known about Jacob de Formentrou, except that he was active in Antwerp during the second half of the 17th century. One of his pictures dated to 1659 depicting a picture gallery interior is in the Royal Collection.

We are grateful to Fred G. Meijer at the RKD for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
