Chantourné were placed in strategic positions in interiors to deliberately deceive those who came across them. They were sophisticated trompe l'oeil paintings applied either to wooden panels or to canvas. They were cut to the shape of the figure or object they were meant to represent to enhance the deception. Samuel van Hoogstraten's student and biographer Arnould Houbraken associates this type of painting in particular with Cornelis Bisschop, who, like Van Hoogstraten, came from Dordrecht.
