The present work dates to the artist's early period during the 1640s, when he was included in the guild as a master. During the early part of the artist's career in Antwerp, he endeavoured to attach himself with the Haarlem tradition. Later it seems he spent considerable time in Italy, especially in Rome, this is manifested in his later works which show a more colourful imagery.
