Carstiaen Luyckx was a versatile and interesting Antwerp still life painter. Next to his traditional, but high quality flower still lifes, garlands, Pronk and hunting still lifes he also painted very original subjects with Vanitas themes, forest floors and a few very nice bird scenes.

Our painting stands close to another scene with pigeons that was sold for over 45.000 € in 2004 at Sotheby’s as by Jacobus Victors.

All my paintings stand fully documented on my website:
