"Artus Wolfaerts (1581-1641) received his training in Dordrecht and in 1616 he worked for a short time in [Otto] Van Veen's studio in Antwerp. A large part of his work consists of scenes from the life of Christ, and of sets of pictures of apostles, evangelists and Fathers of the Church; there are several versions of varying quality of many of these pictures, indicating that Wolfaerts must have had a successful studio working mainly for the art trade and the open market. The classicist characterization of his figures is very similar to Van Veen's style, but he also adapted this earlier style to motifs and schemes of composition derived from Rubens."
