Johannes Cornelisz Verspronck was the son of a painter, studied under Frans Hals, and joined the Guild of St. Luke in Haarlem. Verspronck was adept at executing jewelry and fabrics on canvas, as we see in this sumptuous portrait of a militiaman, standard bearer of his civic guard unit, who commissioned this portrait before his wedding.
