Biography

Dutch painter. Little is known about this artist. He is documented in Utrecht between 1620 and 1672, but also in Dordrecht and perhaps in Enkhuizen. Working as a painter of still-lifes, historical scenes and genre pieces, the artist also executed at least 12 portraits, all dated between 1642 and 1651. His style is undoubtedly indebted to Abraham Bloemaert.
