Houbraken listed him with the Gouda painters Jan Damesz de Veth, Jan en Pieter Donker as noteworthy artists that he intended to include in his book of biographies.[1] His source was Beschrijving der stad Gouda by Ignatius Walvis.[1]
According to the RKD he was a follower of Caravaggio and is known for works in schuilkerkken.[2] In 1644 he painted the regents of the orphanage of Gouda with a self-portrait of himself standing behind his brother-in-law Hart on the left.[3] After his death his widow founded the Harten hofje in Gouda that was torn down in 1965.[3]
