Jacob van der Does

Jacob van der Does (4 March 1623 in Amsterdam – buried 17 November 1673 in Sloten) was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter.

In Rome he joined the Bentvueghels and was dubbed Tamboer, which means drummerboy, since he was somewhat short and had been meant for the military life.

When he eventually returned North, he settled in The Hague where he married Margaretha Boortens and got 4 sons and a daughter.

All three of them made drawings for the album of the wealthy Hague diplomat Cornelis de Glarges in 1659.

His pupils were Theodor Bernoille, Marcus de Bye, Gamaliel Day, Alexander Havelaer, Anthony Schinckels, and his sons Jacob II and Simon van der Does.
