He was a highly regarded and successful gold and silversmith who did a lot of work for the City of Amsterdam. Towards the end of his life he became blind; and here he is depicted in his later years, seated with a silver vessel beside him on a table, as well as a hammer and a pot of punches for his work on the silver. In his right hand he appears to be clutching the base of another silver object
