The genre painter Abraham Perdanis (1673-1744) was a pupil of Richard Brakenburgh, and worked mainly in Haarlem. Although Jelgersma was also a Haarlem artist, and surely knew Perdanis, the latter would have been sixty three years old in 1736, when this drawing was made, so it seems that Jelgersma must have based his watercolor on an earlier self-portrait by Perdanis, rather than making it from life.
