Jan Lievens (Leiden, October 24, 1607 - Amsterdam, June 4, 1674) was a Dutch painter and draughtsman who worked closely with Rembrandt van Rijn in his younger years. Stadholder Maurice of Nassau, prince of Orange, purchased a life-size painting by Lievens around 1620, which depicts a man reading by the light of burning peat. Through the English ambassador, the work came to King James I of England. As a result, he was invited to the English court at the age of 31.
