This drawing is part of a series of five sheets (inv. nos. MB 289-293) on which a total of 26 members of the Bentvueghels are portrayed. The Bentvueghels was a brotherhood of artists from the Northern and Southern Netherlands who united in Rome.
The portraits date from around 1623, the time when the group was founded. Both their own names and the nickname they were given when they joined are written on the sheet. The portraits were perhaps made after the founding meeting.
