Kenner in einem Kunstsaal mit Salonhängung

Cognoscenti in a Room hung with Pictures

This imaginary ideal gallery is crammed with paintings, sculpture and astronomical instruments, showing the best of what was available in private collections in Antwerp. The pictures include works by Joachim Beuckelaer, Hendrick van Steenwyck the Younger, Jan Brueghel the Elder and David Teniers the Elder. The richly dressed cognoscenti or connoisseurs discuss the room's contents.
