About the piece

Painted around 1625 by Frans Francken the Younger, this complex work captures the intellectual and material wealth of the Antwerp merchant class. The family of Sebastiaan Leerse is portrayed in a 'kunstkamer'—a room dedicated to the display of art and curiosities—offering a fascinating and beautifully rendered look into the history of collecting and the Flemish Baroque interior.
