Bol was one of Rembrandt's pupils and an important painter in his own right after leaving Rembrandt's studio. According to Roseline Bacou, Curator of Drawings at the Louvre, which possesses a number of his drawings, notes that "During his lifetime, Bol's reputation as a portraitist surpassed Rembrandt's " (Great Drawings of the Louvre Museum: The German, Flemish, and Dutch Drawings, trans. Marguerite Hugo [NY: George Braziller, 1968], n. 92).
