Abraham Willemsen
(Antwerp circa 1610–1672)
Landscape with mythological scene, presumably depicting the death of Eurydice,
oil on copper, 69.8 x 87 cm, framed
Verso, an adhesive strip with the coat-of-arms of the Marquis de Courtarvel de Pezé.
A comparable signed painting by Willemsen, entitled “Minerva and the Muses on Mount Parnassus”, was auctioned by Christie’s, London, on 29.3.1968 as lot 70.
