NOTE: Cornelis Delff was the son of Jacob Willemsz. Delff the Elder (circa 1550-1601) and initially studied under his father in Delft. He then moved to Haarlem where he worked under Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem (1562-1638), before returning to Delft in 1610 where he remained for the rest of his life. After his teacher Cornelis, Delff was amongst the first artists in the Northern Netherlands to paint kitchen and market scenes with figures and sprawling still lifes, a type which had been conceived by Amsterdam's Pieter Aertsen during his years in Antwerp. Progressing from these kitchen scenes, he began to paint only the still life elements and developed compositions with pots and pans, game and fruit.
