The artist was born in Hamburg and specialised in meticulous representations of old age. The wrinkles of the elderly sitter are depicted with the same elaborate detail as his fur-trimmed velvet cap and coat, and the lace edge of his scarf. The artist produced a large number of portraits of old men and women before moving to England, where he worked between 1721 and 1728 in a broader manner. This painting was probably produced during his German period.
