Jacob Duck

Jacob Duck (c. 1600, 1667) was a Dutch Golden Age painter known for his lively genre scenes depicting soldiers, guardrooms, and merry companies. He was active in Utrecht and later Haarlem, producing works that blend military subject matter with domestic interiors and figures engaged in leisure activities. His style shows influences from the Utrecht Caravaggists and contemporaries such as Willem Duyster and Pieter Codde.
