::::That's right. It's short for ''Aertszoon'' meaning ‘son of Aert’. Because it's an abbreviation it's spelled with a full stop. Often this is overlooken and the full stop is dropped, but here I have found only one example so far where this is the case (see B. de Klerck, 'Short-sighted? Rijckaert Aertsz Portraying the Virgin in a Painting by Frans Floris', Oud Holland 124 (2011), p. 65-80).
