Jan van Mieris (1660-1690)

"Jan van Mieris (17 June 1660 – 17 March 1690) was a Dutch painter.

He was born in Leiden, the eldest son of Frans van Mieris the Elder. His younger brother Willem van Mieris was also a painter. Jan learned the art of painting from his father, and from Gerard de Lairesse in Amsterdam, where he learned to paint history pieces. In his youth, various sicknesses impeded him in the progress of his studies. His work was especially appreciated by members of the de la Court family. He had a sister Christina.

Jan's patron Petronella de la Court (1624-1707) owned three of his paintings, her son Adam Oortmans II (1662-1719) had four. He also painted portraits for this family, one of Petronella, one of her husband Adam Oortmans I (1622-1684) and one of their great-nephew Pieter de la Court van der Voort (1664-1739). The latter had two pairs of pendants, genre pieces, by Jan." - (en.wikipedia.org 10.06.2021)
