## Commentary

The most interesting part the repertoire of Louis de Caullery, who became a master in Antwerp in 1602, consists of allegorical representations, such as the present Five Senses, illustrated by elegant courting couples in a palace. In the characterization of his figures, more specifically in their facial expression and jet-black eyes, there is a certain affinity with the work of Frans Francken II. The suggestion of space is Mannerist and artificial.
