"A Collector's Cabinet with Abraham Ortelius and Justus Lipsius" is a notable oil painting by the Flemish artist Frans II Francken (1581–1642), a prominent member of the Francken family of painters who were influential in the development of Flemish art during the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. This painting, created in the early 17th century, is a quintessential example of a 'cabinet painting', a genre that depicts an interior room displaying a collection of curiosities, artworks, and natural specimens that were typically found in the 'cabinets of curiosities' of the time.

The painting is significant for its detailed representation of an intellectual gathering within a collector's study, featuring the renowned geographer and cartographer Abraham Ortelius (1527–1598) and the prominent humanist and classical scholar Justus Lipsius (1547–1606). The inclusion of these figures underscores the painting's celebration of the era's scholarly pursuits and the burgeoning interest in collecting and cataloging knowledge.

Francken's work is characterized by its intricate detail and the rich allegorical content, which reflects the intellectual climate of the period as well as the burgeoning fascination with the collection and display of art and objects from around the world. The painting not only showcases Francken's skill in rendering textures and objects with high fidelity but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the cultural and intellectual milieu of the Antwerp elite during the early 17th century.

"A Collector's Cabinet with Abraham Ortelius and Justus Lipsius" is housed in a notable museum or private collection, and it continues to be a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts of the Flemish Baroque.
