Default Signature assistance appreciated. Probably European; possibly Dutch.

Any assistance to identify this indecipherable signature would be greatly appreciated. Hope the images are clear enough.

Apologies for the inexplicable inversion of the first image; second image is clearer in any event.

That was going to be my comment when I saw the first image: "You're hanging the painting upside down".

Perhaps the painting's style provides some useful context. As well, could one read a "van" and stylized "de" into the signature?

I don't see that. I see something like "B. Luy....", perhaps.

Findartinfo.com shows a lot of artists named Luyckx (which is probably pronounced as delightfully as it reads), but I don't see any "k" so I don't think that's it.
