About this work
The Flemish sculptor Dieussart was a very popular portraitist at princely courts throughout northern Europe. In The Hague, he worked for Stadtholder Frederick Henry, but he also portrayed wealthy citizens, such as the Delft tapestry-weaver Pieter Spiering and his wife, Johanna Doré.
