Jan Josef Horemans the Younger qualified as a master of the Guild of St. Luke in Antwerp on 10 February 1767 and was dean of the guild on two occasions (1768–69 and 1775–76). He was a placid apologist for bourgeois virtues and, following his father’s example, admirably recreated the atmosphere of his age in a multitude of paintings such as the present one. He signed in the same way as his father, but his palette is generally lighter, earning him the nickname 'Le Clair.'
