Jan Worst

(active around 1645–1686)

Jan Worst, whose biographical data can be deduced mainly from his works, was probably a pupil of Jan Asselijn, who in turn was influenced by the draughtsman Pieter van Laer. Worst was in Italy around 1650, in France in 1655/56 – his work at this stage being similar in style to that of Frederik de Moucheron – and back in the Netherlands in 1656.
