The
Artist
Johannes
Cornelisz. Verspronck was born in Haarlem around 16061609 and became,
by mid-century, one of the citys leading portrait painters. One hundred
of his paintings, almost all portraits, survive today. Girl in Blue
is his most famous work. Though Verspronck was successful in his own time,
we know little about him today.
