Pieter Nason (1612 - 1689) was a talented portraitist who left Amsterdam in 1639 to settle in The Hague. On arrival he abandoned his rather outdated manner in favour of the fashionable style popular in the court-capital.
His smooth technique and habit of painting young children in fantasy costumes (a mixture of the fashions of the day and a pseudo-historical look) helped make Nason a sought after and valued portraitist both inside and outside the Netherlands.
He worked for a time at the Court of Charles ll in England.
