Attributed to Petrus Staverenus

Petrus Staverenus was a Dutch Golden Age painter active in the seventeenth century, known primarily through works attributed to him rather than a firmly documented oeuvre. He is associated with portrait and figure painting in the tradition of the Leiden or broader Dutch school, and his works occasionally appear at auction attributed to him with varying degrees of scholarly confidence. Little biographical detail is securely established, making him a somewhat enigmatic figure in the study of minor Dutch masters.
