Jacobus Sibrandi Mancadan had an unusual career as an artist: he did not begin painting until middle age, after serving as burgomaster of Franeker from 1637-39 and then of Leeuwarden in 1645. His color palette and subject matter were inspired by the local landscapes of Leeuwarden, where he settled in Siegerswoude.
