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.

He also depicted contemporary scenes that depicted tavern scenes and held moral symbolism.
