Jean-Jacques Bauman was born in Strasbourg and adopted the Dutch form of his name when he relocated to Amsterdam in or before 1622. He drew inspiration from German still life painters like Georg Flegel, as well as from Dutch and Flemish artists like Ambrosius Bosschaert. Bouman specialized in food still lifes and included luxury items from the far East like the present kraak bowl. The same bowl appears frequently in the artist's work, suggesting that he ha𝕴d enough financial succe☂ss to own such an item.
