Maarten Boelema was a native from Friesland and known as ‘de Stomme’ (the mute). In 1642, he was recorded in Haarlem as a pupil of Willem Claesz. Heda and enlisted in the Haarlem Guild.
His dated works span a mere two years, 1642-44, during which time he painted still lifes that were markedly influenced by Heda and Haarlem artists like Pieter Claesz. and Gerret Willemsz. Heda, with whom Boelema shared a particular interest in the depiction of hams, tazzas and roemers. The motif of a ham was indeed so popular in still lifes, that seventeenth-century inventories frequently listed works such as the present lot as ‘hammetjes’.
Bearing the inscription ‘HEDA’ on the knife blade, this nicely preserved composition has been regarded as by Willem Claesz. Heda in the past. However, Dr. Fred Meijer, to whom we are grateful, has attributed the picture to Boelema de Stomme and proposes on the basis of images a date of circa 1643.
