Details

Dutch painter. His father was the glass painter Willem Jansz. van Stoop and his brother Dirck was also a painter. Only some twenty paintings by him are known, surviving works are limited by the brevity of his career. He specialised in genre painting and in particular guardroom subjects, portraying off-duty officers in scenes of relaxation and merriment. //
