His restrained erotic compositions, such as the Time and the Goddesses of Fate fall within this category. Apart from his aristocratic clientele, this secular work by Thijs must have found a market among the rich Antwerp burghers of the later seventeenth century who would also show interest in Thij's elegant style of portraiture. ## Related artworks - [Mystic Marriage of St Catherine]() - [Portrait of Philips van de Werve and His Wife]() - [St Francis in Portiuncula]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
