The 1996-7 Malcolm Exhibition label text: The sitter, David Vlugh (d. 1673), was a commander of the Dutch fleet in engagements of the English coast. Jan de Bisschop, by profession a lawyer, was a gifted amateur artist who may have received instruction in drawing from Bartholomeus Breenbergh. He became an advocate at the Court of Holland in The Hague, where he spent most of his life, although he was born in Amsterdam. He published two series of prints after Italian art and the Antique.
