He was the brother of Karel Sichem who published many of his prints. Van Sichem also made woodcuts after portraits of prominent artists such as Abraham Bloemaert, Hendrick Goltzius and Maarten van Heemskerck. He made wood engravings for various publications and then collected and published them himself in Der zielen Lust-Hof. De Bijbelse schatkamer. This wood engraving is titled Het Paeschfeest. The engraving was printed in the 1980s on the press of Salix Alba (Utrecht). The print is made from the original wood block.
