Portrait of Jan de Bisschop

Jan de Bisschop (mentioned on object), 1657 - 1671

De Bisschop here copied a painted likeness of himself that has probably been lost. It is unclear who made it. The painter portrayed De Bisschop as a self-assured gentleman of standing, but did not include any references to his love of fine art.
