Besides flower still-lifes no other subjects of his hand are known; according to Taylor 2000, three flower stillings, of which one (ICN / Den Bosch) was previously attributed to Gillis (II) and the others (sale Christie's, 5 July 1996) to N. Gillis, are by Gillis (III) because they should be dated after 1610 (Willigen/Meijer 2003)
