KEYSER, THOMAS DE, born in Amsterdam
in 1596 or 1597, died there, buried
Nov. 19, 1679. Dutch school, history,
genre, and portrait painter; his small pictures
are very characteristic, but the large
ones less original. His portraits, which are
truthful, and of warm clear colouring, appear
to have influenced Rembrandt when
the latter came to Amsterdam in 1631.
