Introduction	Den 10e july 1635 zijn de naergelaten schilderijen van Hans Wynants vercocht
Commentary	Hans or Jan Wynants was the son of Joris Wynants. On 10 May 1603, Hans Wynants, 24, from Antwerp, packer, assisted by his father, living on the St. Jacobsstraet, was betrothed to Catelijn Snyers, van Dolenbergh, 23, assisted by her nephew Hans Hongte (DTB 665/279). Hans Wynants, together with Francois Gysels and Hendrick van Riet (of R 24930), owned a company of packers (warehouse operators), who were entrusted by the W.I.C. with the packagien of the W.I.C. goods (Bredius, Künstler-inventare, p. 1916). He was taxed 80 f. in 1631, at which time he lived on the East side of the Breestraet (Kohier, fol. 227, p. 52). On 5 January 1635, Jan Wynants, packer, presented his four children, Joris, of major age, Abraham, 18, Isaac, 15, and Jacob, 12, whose late mother was Catheline Snyder, to the Orphan Chamber and declared that they were entitled to a half house on the Keysersgracht near the Westerkerck (WK 5073/789). Hans Wynants must have died soon afterwards.
