Later he become an engraver in the Mannerist style under the influence of Hendrick Goltzius (q.v.), with whom he may have studied. Muller worked for Goltzius workshop until about 1589. From 1590 on, the majority of Muller's prints bear his father address. Some prints from the end of his career have his own name of publisher.
