Commentary	Nicolaes Sohier was a merchant associated in business with Jacob Jacobsz. Bicker. He married Susanna Hellemans, the sister of Leonora Hellemans, who was married to the poet and history writer Pieter Cornelisz. Hooft. He built, first, het Huis met de Hoofden, and later het Vingboonshuis on 237 Herengracht. He was a well-known amateur of Venetian music (J.H. Giskes, Venetiaanse muziek in zeventiende-eeuws Amsterdam in Amsterdam: het Venetie van het Noorden, 1991, p. 182).
