Hanneman was trained in The Hague with the portrait painter Anthonie van Ravesteyn the younger. Between 1626 and 1638 He was in London, where he was influenced by Van Dyck and possibly employed in his studio. In 1640 he became a member of the painters' guild in The Hague, where he enjoyed a successful career as a portrait painter. This is possibly the pendant to a female portrait now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
