The son of a saddlemaker, Jan Mytens learned to paint from his uncles while still a teenager. In his early twenties, he was admitted to The Hague's guild of painters; fifteen years later, he became the guild's governor. In the last decade of his life, he founded the painters' society *De Pictura* (On Painting), where he spent the remainder of his career teaching students about portrait painting. Throughout his life Mytens was a fashionable portrait painter in The Hague. He received commissions from prominent citizens, members of the nobility, and high-placed government officials. His portraits can be divided into two major groups: life-size three-quarter length, and half-length portraits of individuals and small-scale family groups. He conveyed his sitters' elevated status by depicting them wearing sumptuous garments and jewelry.
