Hendrick Andriessen

Vanitas still life with a globe, sceptre, a skull crowned with straw

Hendrick Andriessen, known as Mancken Heyn ('Limping Henry')[1] (Antwerp, 1607 – Antwerp or Zeeland, 1655) was a Flemish still-life painter. He is known for his vanitas still lifes, which are made up of objects referencing the precariousness of life, and 'smoker' still lifes (the so-called 'toebackjes'), which depict smoking utensils. The artist worked in Antwerp and likely also in the Dutch Republic.[2]
