GIJSBRECHTS, Cornelis Norbertus
(b. ca. 1630, Antwerpen, d. after 1675)

Board Partition with Letter Rack and Music Book

1668
Oil on canvas, 124 x 107 cm
Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen

This work is, as a large portion of Gijsbrecht's oeuvre, painted as a trompe-l'oeil, an illusion, made to trick the spectator into believing that the objects are real and three-dimensional rather than flat and two-dimensional.
