[1] He is known for popular comical and satirical works, a few of which were engraved and printed during his lifetime, thanks to his patron John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester.

After his father's death, his mother married the art dealer Jan Wijnants in 1651.

[1] In the early 1670s he moved to London, where one of his often satirical paintings apparently landed him in serious trouble with King Charles II of England.

Though he is registered as having died in London in 1704, he was listed by Laurens van der Vinne as one of the painters who had predeceased his father in 1702.

Various genre paintings are exhibited in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Louvre in Paris, the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Tournai, the Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle, the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
