In 1654 he became a member of the painters’ guild in Brussels, and from then ran a busy studio, although few of his pupils can be identified.

He painted genre scenes of peasant life, such as kermesse and tavern scenes, in the manner of his master and of Joos van Craesbeeck. Comment on works: Interiors; Genre; Landscapes; Portraits.
