Buyer NotesElsewhere (R 40178) the buyer's name is spelled Olycamp. He is likely to be Jacob Jacobsz. Olycan, born on 7 July 1592, in Amsterdam, son of Jacob Pietersz. Olican, who lived in Amsterdam in the Olycan, from which he derived his name. His mother's name was Geertje IJsbrands. He became clerk of the Wees- en Rekenkamer of Amsterdam. He died in Amsterdam, unmarried, on 2 March 1669 (Archiefdienst vooor Kennmerland, nr. 44-000672 W, no name, no date). Given the ties of the Olycan family with Haarlem, it may be significant that the 27-year-old Olycan bought a painting immediately after Gerrit Dircksz. de Vries from Haarlem (LOT 0012). It is probable that he is also identical with Jacob Olycan who paid a tax of 30 f. in 1631 (living on the Oostervoorburgwal) (Kohier, fol 273, p. 62). In 1630, Jacob Olycan was portrayed by Niclaes Elias Pickenoy in the corporaalschap of Captain Cornelis Backer (Oud Holland, 4(1886), p. 104). On 25 February 1625, Jacob Olycan bought 4 pounds of marmelade at the Pieter Mercijs sale of cruijderijen (WK 5073/957).
