Little is known about Willem Claesz. Heda’s early life and artistic training; however, by the 1630s he was already recognized as an accomplished still-life painter, best known for his monochrome breakfast pieces. His talents were acknowledged early on by the Dutch poet and minister Samuel Ampzing, who praised him alongside Salomon de Bray and Pieter Claesz. His son, Gerrit Willemsz. Heda, was among his pupils, and father and son maintained such closely aligned styles throughout their careers that their works are sometimes difficult to distinguish.
