He is known for small genre paintings that were often sold by pairs, but also made wall decorations.[1] He was deaf-mute and worked in Haarlem and Amsterdam.[2] He painted a wall decoration for the owner Quarles van Ufford on the house located at Spaarne 106.[2][1] He married Maria van der Steen in 1757. His works were collected by Gerrit Braamcamp and Jan Gildemeester.[2]
