Portrait of Petronella Boogaart (1679). Jan Verkolje (Dutch, 1650-1693). Oil on canvas. Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem.At a young age, Verkolje took up painting in oils, and copied the works of Gerard van Zyl, also known as Gerards. He became so good at imitating his style, that when he finally took art lessons from Jan Lievensz the younger, Lievens recognized Gerards’ style immediately and later asked him to finish the unfinished paintings he bought from the estate of Gerards after his death. -- source link
