In the early 1580s, Cornelis worked in his native Haarlem where he carried out a number of important commissions. This is an unusual subject for an artist better known for his larger mythological, religious and moralistic genre paintings. Some of the accessories – the chair, table and books – appear again in a drawing by Cornelis van Haarlem of 'St Peter's Vision of Unclean Beasts' in the Prentenkabinet der Rijksuniversiteit, Leiden.
