Biography

He was born in Delft. According to the RKD he became a member of the Delft Guild of St. Luke in 1644.[1] He is known for detailed "pen paintings" of ships, a grisaille art form whereby the 17th century painter used a pen and gray paint to create a work on a panel prepared with white oil paint.[1] He died in Delft.
