The painter Miereveldt spent his entire career in Delft, in spite of a concerted attempt on the part of Henry, Prince of Wales to attract him to London in 1611-12. He painted the portraits of many of the British statesmen and soldiers who were in the Low Countries visiting the court of Elizabeth of Bohemia in The Hague or passing through on military campaigns.
