Festoon of fruits, Herman Henstenburgh
Herman Henstenburgh (1667-1726, Hoorn), was an 18th-century painter from the Northern Netherlands.
According to Johan van Gool he was very good at copying prints and copied the watercolours of Pieter Holstein, which were so good that his parents let him become a pupil of Johannes Bronkhorst in 1683. Bronckhorst was able to live by his paintings, but supplemented his income with his work on the side as pastrybaker until his death, and Henstenburgh clearly learned this business from him as well, because he took over this business when Bronckhorst died.
