In his earliest paintings Ryckaert's technique is particularly attuned to that of the later Brouwer. After 1640 the affinity with the contemporary work of David Teniers the Younger appears to become greater. In paintings such as the Farm Interior the interest in the tactile and picturesque representation of household still-life shows a distinct increase.
