Ferdinand van Apshoven the Younger

He painted mainly genre scenes of peasants and taverns in the style of David Teniers the Younger.

His father was a painter who had studied with Adam van Noort and had become a master of the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1596.

Their youngest son Willem (baptized 5 September 1664 in the St. Walburga Church) was enrolled in the Antwerp guild as a pupil of Joseph de la Morlet, but was never registered as a master.

[2] Van Apshoven was captain of the local Schutterij (civil militia) from 13 December 1664 to 8 August 1679.

In 1675 Ferdinand van Apshoven was together with Balthasar-Lucas Boel a guardian of the children of the late Louys du Pré.
