We are grateful to Fred Meijer who has confirmed the attribution on the basis of digital photographs.

Provenance:
with Frost & Reed, London, 1953;
with M. Knoedler & Co Inc., New York, January 1955;
bought by Mrs Brooke Astor (1902–2007), Rhinebeck, New York;
her sale, Sotheby’s, New York, 1 February 2013, lot 469;
Private European collection

Van Thielen trained with Theodoor Rombouts and Daniel Seghers before becoming a master of the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1641/42. His wife Francisca was the sister-in-law of Erasmus Quellinus, with whom Thielen collaborated frequently. In many cases, Quellinus painted the cartouches for Thielen’s floral garlands. In 1660, Thielen returned to his native town of Mechelen, where he joined the local painters’ guild. His flower paintings betray a strong influence of his teacher, Daniel Seghers, although his colours are sharper and his drawing was less meticulous.
