Jacob Adriaensz. Backer was a student of Rembrandt, whose influence reveals itself first and foremost in the artist’s numerous portraits. Backer’s art is characterised by a naturalistic approach, broad brushwork, and somewhat sketchy outlines, combined with an increasingly fluid manner of painting. Compared to Rembrandt, his palette is brighter, which holds primarily true for the flesh tones and the background.
