Boeyermans's dated work is restricted to the 1660s and 1670s. To a large extent he served the more distant surroundings of Antwerp with his religious works. The work of Antwerp's most pronounced classicist painter, Erasmus Quellinus provided a model: some of the facial types, as well as the tree-dimensionally modelled appearance of many of the figures suggest inspiration from Quellinus.
This painting is on the Altar of St Joseph in the St. James' Church in Antwerp.
