Born in The Hague, Netherlands, Corneille settled in Lyon, where he set up an artistic workshop. Lyon was one of the French court centers during the 16th century and would have provided Corneille with an ample supply of noble and bourgeois patrons. This small portrait format was in vogue at the time and was most likely meant for intimate viewing. The painting reflects the naturalistic tradition of Netherlandish painting as well as the simple, monochromatic background indicative of French-style portraiture.
