Oil on canvas
Jan Cossiers was a Flemish painter and draughtsman. Cossiers' earliest works were caravaggesque genre works depicting low life scenes. Later in his career he painted mostly history and religious subjects as well as portraits. Cossiers was one of the leading painters in Antwerp after Rubens' death in 1640 and one of the most original colorists in 17th-century Flanders.
Jan Cossiers had received his training from leading portrait painters such as Cornelis de Vos and Abraham de Vries. He had thus learned the necessary skills to cater to the demand of the well-off bourgeoisie for individual and group portraits.
His portraits are characterized by their sensitive likenesses, psychological insight and casual elegance.
