A pupil of his own father, Gaal's focus were portraits and manufacturing miniatures including one of his father, Pieter. Some of his paintings were displayed in exhibitions in Middelburg 1822, Amsterdam 1852, and The Hague 1853. He painted portraits of King William I and King William II.[2] His portrait of a young woman being dressed by a maidservant, "Junges Madchen in Weissem Kleid Beim Ankleiden" was sold for US$4000.
