David Ryckaert III, 1612 Antwerpen – 1661, zu... Lot n° 877

THE FRESH SWALLOW Oil on wood. 22 x 18 cm. Attributed to the named artist verso. In ebonized profile frame. In an interior that gains depth through a vaulted arch and a festoon, a woman with a white hood and an open Westerwald stoneware jug is sitting at a table, from which she has just filled a stemmed glass, probably not for the first time in the day. The painter was a pupil of his father David Ryckaert II (1586-1642) and became known for his pictures of craftsmen, peasants and society. His work is strongly influenced by David Teniers the Elder (1582-1649), his son David Teniers the Younger (1610-1690) and the late works of Adriaen Brouwer (1605/06-1638). Works by his hand in numerous public collections.(1401213) (1) (13)
