Little is known about the life of the romantic painter Dirk de Haan.

Like many painters, De Haan must have been inspired by the picturesque streets of the Jordaan. and the Jewish neighbourhood. In addition, Amsterdam had a good market for cityscapes. In addition to Dutch city and village views, De Haan also painted landscapes and marines.
