[...] Daniel?s brother Abraham (1618 - after 1660), who married a woman from Den Brielin 1643, moved there in 1654. His wife, Adriana de Jong, came from a wealthy family of brewers, and Abraham acquired considerable wealth through his lease on the town?s taxation of beer and wine. [...]
Abraham Vosmaer (1618-after 1660). In Guild 1639. Still life painter, possibly influenced by Willem van Aelst. Delft address not known.
An example is "Still life with Fish" which was acquired by the Prinsenhof Museum, Delft.
In his flower pieces he followed Verhulst. None of Verhulst's paintings survive but a Hendrick Hondius engraving gives us an idea of the style which was first followed by Ambrosis Bosschaert the Elder and then by Jacob Vosmaer.
