Biography:
Jacob Duck was born and trained in Utrecht and was an apprentice in the Guild of Saint Luke beginning in 1621. He became a master a decade later and established a presence in Utrecht, Haarlem, and Wijk bij Durrstede before settling in The Hague in 1656. With the onset of the Thirty Years’ War, Duck began creating paintings and etchings of soldiers, a genre which became a popular around that time. He also depicted contemporary scenes that depicted tavern scenes and held moral symbolism.
