VOIS, ARIE (Adriaan) DE, born in Leyden
in 1641, died there in 1698 (?). Dutch
school; history, portrait, genre, and landscape
painter, pupil of Nicolas Knupfer in
Utrecht and of Abraham van den Tempel at
Leyden; further developed under influence
of Gerard Dou and Frans van Mieris. He
painted, with minute finish, chiefly half-length
nude figures, in landscapes after the
manner of Poelenburg, animated in conception
and clear and warm in colouring. A
rich marriage led him into idleness for thirteen
years, until need compelled him to devote
himself again to art. The pictures of
his last period pass for his best. Works:

Woman cutting a Lemon, Two Male
