 In addition, on the basis of the attribution to Simon de Vos of a 1626 composition referred to as "Gathering of Smokers and Drinkers" (Louvre Museum, Paris) it is believed that de Vos resided in Aix-en-Provence in France in the mid-1620s.De Vos must have returned to his hometown in 1626 as in that year he married Catharina van Utrecht, a sister of the Antwerp still life painter Adriaen van Utrecht.The couple remained childless.
