Willem Cornelisz Duyster (1599 – 1635) was a Dutch painter from Amsterdam.

[edit] Painting career

Duyster's paintings generally depicted genre scenes and portraits, quite often of soldiers. He exhibited a strong ability to paint textiles, accurately characterize his subjects, and to depict relationships between his figures. Duyster's career was cut short when he succumbed to the plague in 1635.[1]
