Florent Willems

Florent Willems or Florent Willems van Edeghem (8 January 1823 – 23 October 1905) was a Belgian painter and art restorer. He was successful with his genre scenes depicting a few figures in an interior executed in the style of the 17th century Flemish and Dutch Baroque. He was particularly praised for his ability to render realistically the materials of the clothes of his figures which earned him the nickname of the 'modern Ter Borch'.
