The eminent portraitist Jan Mijtens may have trained under two of his uncles, Daniel Mijtens the Elder (c.1590-c.1647) and Isaac Mijtens (c.1602-1666), both successful portrait painters in their own right. Daniel the Elder had worked for the court of Charles I in England, where he encountered Sir Anthony van Dyck who would later supersede him as leading court portraitist.

After his admission to The Hague’s Guild of Painters in 1639, Mijtens quickly established a successful career working for prominent citizens, members of the nobility and high-placed government officials from the Stadholder’s circle, and those loyal to the House of Orange-Nassau. Here Mijtens presents his subjects in typically vibrant colours and a playful yet elegant manner, particularly reminiscent of van Dyck's mature style.
