According to Houbraken he was a good portrait and history painter, who painted both small and large pieces.[1] Houbraken admired the history of Joseph in 4 panels that hung in the Proveniers Hof in Hoorn when he was writing. He also saw a history of Jephthah dated 1602, at the Hoorn home of the painter Johannes Bronkhorst.[1]
