Frans van Everbroeck, who had been a pupil in Antwerp of Joris van Son (1623 – 1667), specialised in fruit and in flower still lifes: deceptive representations of garlands round a central cartouche or individual swags. At the end of his career van Everbroeck left his hometown Antwerp for London.
Collaboration between two specialists is a typical feature of early Antwerp Baroque painting. It is not known who painted the figures of Joseph and Jesus in the contemporary centre in-set image.
