Borssum is thought to have been a pupil of Rembrandt during the second half of the 1640s, but the majority of his works show relatively little stylistic debt to the master, and instead show the influence of Paulus Potter, Aelbert Cuyp and Aert van der Neer. Because only five of the artist's paintings are dated, scholars have had difficulty in tracing his stylistic development.
