MERSSEMAN, Auguste Joseph Marie de
(b. 1808 Brugge, d. 1879 Antwerpen)
Belgian painter, active in Antwerp. His oeuvre consists of portraits, interior scenes and still-lifes. Most of the artist’s surviving works, such as Old woman with Cats (Stedelijke Musea, Bruges) and Still-Life with Shells (private collection), exhibit the same heightened refinement and virtuoso handling.
