Cornelis Jan Mension lived and worked in Delft.

Portrait of 2 Gibbons.

Cornelis Jan Mension painted landscapes, cityscapes and still lifes, but he became best known for his paintings of small animals such as birds and mice, apes and larger wild animals. As a painter he was formed by the lessons of Franz Helfferich in The Hague and afterwards he attended the Academy of Fine Arts in the same city. A fairly loose impressionism is the style he applied throughout his life. Mension was also an excellent etcher and lithographer.
