No references to Ter Brugghen written during his life have come down to us.<ref name=Nicolson>{{cite book|last=Nicolson|first=Benedict|title=Hendrick Terbrugghen|year=1958|publisher=Martinus Nijhoff|location=The Hague|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=72Y4QwAACAAJ}}</ref>{{awkward}} His father Jan Egbertsz ter Brugghen, originally from [[Overijssel]], had moved to Utrecht, where he was appointed secretary to the Court of Utrecht by the Prince of Orange, [[William the Silent]]. He had been married to Sophia Dircx. In 1588 he became bailiff to the Provincial Council of Holland in The Hague, where Hendrick was born.<ref name=Liedtke/>
The earliest brief reference to the painter is in ''[[Het Gulden Cabinet]]'' (1661) of [[Cornelis de Bie]], where he is mistakenly referred to as ''Verbrugghen''.<ref name=DeBie>{{cite book|last=de Bie|first=Cornelis|title=Het gulden Cabinet vande edel vry schilder const, inhoudende den lof vande vermarste schilders, architecte, beldthowers ende plaetsnyders van dese eeuw|year=1661|publisher=Jan Meyssens|location=Belgium|page=132|url=http://books.google.nl/books?id=3pFbAAAAQAAJ}}</ref> Another short account is found in the ''[[Teutsche Academie]]'' (1675) by [[Joachim von Sandrart]], where he is referred to as ''Verbrug''. Here we learn that he studied with [[Abraham Bloemaert]], a [[Mannerist]] painter. Sandrart also refers to the painter's "tiefsinnige, jedoch, schwermütige Gedanken in seinen Werken" [profound, but melancholic thoughts in his works].<ref name=Sandrart>{{cite book|last=Von Sandrart|first=Joachim|title=Teutsche Academie der Edlen Bau, Bild- und Mahlerey-Künste|year=1675|pages=303, 308}}</ref>
