Biography

[edit]

Van Tol was born in Bodegraven. He was a nephew of Gerard Dou and his works often draw comparison with those of his uncle.[1][2] In 1664 he became a member of the Leiden Guild of St. Luke and in 1670 he got married and moved to Utrecht.[1] A daughter was baptised in Amsterdam in 1674, and in 1675 he was back in Leiden, where he became a member of the guild again, and eventually died.[1] He is known for being a fijnschilder.[1]
