According to the RKD he was the son of a burgemeester of Franeker and became the pupil of Wybrand de Geest.[1] He moved to Groningen in 1642 and nothing is known of him after 1658, when his daughter Pietertien had guardians appointed to look after her.[1]
According to a family history he may have been a pupil of Rembrandt.[2] The Groninger Museum has works by him.[3]
