His earliest dated print, a portrait of John Golding is from 1753. Many of his prints reproduce Dutch 17th-century drawings or paintings in his own, or aristocratic collections. He also specialized in prints of Rembrandt's graphic works. Baillie owned and reworked the Rembrandt copperplate for the "Hundertguilder"print. Pieter Molijn (1595-1661) was a pupil of Esaias van de Velde. He was the tutor of many dutch painters and specialised in landscapes.
