Though Jan van Os is best known for his asymmetrically composed still lifes of fruit and flowers, he was also a skilled landscapist, who favored marine scenes reminiscent of those by the celebrated painters Jan van de Cappelle and Willem van de Velde II. Van Os began his artistic training under Aert Schouman and joined the Confraternity of Painters in The Hague in 1773. Together with his wife, the portraitist Susanna de la Croix, trained their three children, Georgius Jacobus Johannes van Os, Pieter van Os, and Maria Margaretha van Os, in the art of painting.
