Fantastic painting! Especially the book details.
Agreed! It is also a printed book. The painting is therefore a testimony to the wealth of the sitter. I have no idea who Joris van Zelle was. But the name rings a bell in the wine industry… however I don’t think the two are related. At any rate, in the 16th c. sitters were usually wealthy and used all sorts of props to demonstrate their status in life and, if important, their profession.
Thank you for you visit.
