Litterature: E. Buijsen et al.,  Haagse Schilders in de Gouden Eeuw. Het Hoogsteder Lexicon van alle schilders werkzaam in Den Haag 1600–1700, The Hague 1998, p. 111, reproduced fig. 3.

Throughout his career the overriding influence on the still-lifes of Jacques de Claeuw were those of Abraham van Beyeren, under whom he possibly trained, and that influence is palpable here. Though a successful painter De Claeuw was clearly not so gifted as a businessman, probably due to the eight children he had to support, and he was regularly forced into quick sales of his paintings beneath their market value, and was just as regularly bailed out by his father and close friends. He worked initially in Dordrecht, where he set up the Guild of Saint Luke in 1642, before moving to The Hague in 1646, Leiden in 1651 and finally to Haarlem sometime before 1687.
