Mostaert, a native of Haarlem, was for eighteen years painter
to Margaret of Austria, Regent of the Netherlands. A picture
ascribed to him is preserved in the church of Notre Dame at
Bruges, but no known pictures bear his signature. A large
number of his works perished in the great fire at Haarlem in
1571.
One of the few specimens in the Gallery of the first period of Dutch
art, when it was still following the traditions of the Early Flemish
School.
