"Carel de Moor (1655-1738) was born in Leiden, the son of an art dealer and frame maker. According to Arnold Houbraken, he initially studied in Leiden with Gerrit Dou before a period in Amsterdam with Abraham van den Tempel. He then returned to Leiden to study with Frans van Mieris the Elder, before completing his training under Godfried Schalcken in Dordrecht. . . . De Moor joined the Leiden Guild of St. Luke in 1683, and eleven years later, together with Willem van Mieris and Jacob van Toorenvliet, founded the Leidse Tekenacademie, where artists draw from live models. Despite success in other genres, he focused increasingly on portraiture, and his reputation extended across Europe."
