Specialist note

Pseudo-Jan van Kessel II is a designation given to the artist or studio responsible for a group of primarily small-scale still lifes in the style of Jan van Kessel. While Klaus Ertz classified this group as the work of Jan van Kessel II in his 2012 monograph on the artist, the name Pseudo-Jan van Kessel II has been used in scholarship since 2017 to describe them.

We are grateful to Dr. Fred G. Meijer for proposing this attribution on the basis of photographs.
