The painter is probably the art dealer P.L. Mastraeten, who sold part of the collection of the Museum in Brussels in 1830 at the request of Odevaere, Navez and Van Assche (De Koninklijke Musea voor Schone Kunsten van België, Lannoo, 2003, I, p. 95). The initials more than likely do not refer to a Pierre Joseph Corneille Mastraeten, 'artiste peintre' in Leuven (1820-1843) (link).
