Sold as Jan Jozef Horemans I, but in our opinion by his son Jan Jozef II
One of a pair : a farm scene
Oil on canvas : 53,7 X 62,2 cm / each
Each signed and dated “J Horemans 1756”
Sold at Sotheby’s Amsterdam, 18/05/04
For 68.724 € / the pair
The facial types of the figures are typical of Jan Jozef I, not of his father.
Jan Jozef the Elder died in 1759 at the age of 77.
This makes him 74 years old when these paintings were painted.
Seeing their secure technique and very narrative style this pair should in our
opinion be attributed to Jan Jozef the Younger, who was 42 years old in 1756.
