Biography
Still-Life of Kitchen Utensils

Delff was born in Gouda. According to Houbraken he was first a pupil of his father Jacob Delff, and then of Cornelis van Haarlem.[1] He was the brother of the painter Willem Jacobsz Delff and a good painter of still lifes.[1]

According to the RKD he became a member of the Delft Guild of St. Luke in 1613, and his kitchen still life paintings were followed by Sir Nathaniel Bacon (1585-1627), Gillis Gillisz. de Bergh, and Jan Willemsz. van der Wilde.[2] [2] He died in Delft.
