Biography

According to the RKD-Nederlands Instituut voor Kunstgeschiedenis, Jelgersma moved to Haarlem in 1757.[1] He was the pupil of Frans Decker and Wigerus Vitringa. He painted landscapes, portraits, and copies of old masters. His grisailles followed the manner of Jacob de Wit.[1] His pupils were Johan Bernard Brandhoff, Johannes Petrus van Horstok, Cornelis van Noorde, Martinus van der Jagt, and Johannes Swertner.[1] He lived to a great age.

His pupil Cornelis van Noorde made many engravings after portraits that Jelgersma made. Often these are the only surviving portraits of these people today.

gollark: I... don't think so.
