Willem Cornelisz Duyster (1599–1635),

• Duyster was a Dutch Golden Age painter from Amsterdam.
• He is best known for his "guardroom scenes", genre paintings showing the military life.
• He knew his exact contemporary Pieter Codde well though, in a brawl between them in 1625, Codde hit him in the face with a "tin pitcher" at a country house party hosted by another artist.
• He married the sister of the painter Simon Kick, who in turn married Willem's sister.
• After an early period as a portraitist, Duyster became a specialist in genre scenes such as merry company paintings, and military scenes.
• Duyster's career was cut short when he succumbed to the plague in 1635.
