Toebackje, also known as Still Life with a Stoneware Jug, Tobacco and a Pipe, is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Jansz van de Velde III. Created in 1650, this work exemplifies the still life genre that flourished during the period, particularly in the Netherlands. The painting is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and the artist's skillful use of light and shadow to create a realistic depiction of the objects.

Jan Jansz van de Velde III was born into a family of artists and is best known for his contributions to the still life genre. His works often feature everyday objects, such as the items seen in Toebackje, which include a stoneware jug, tobacco leaves, and a clay pipe. These objects not only serve as a testament to the domestic life and material culture of the 17th century but also carry symbolic meanings related to the transience of life and the sensory pleasures associated with tobacco use at the time.

The painting's composition is carefully arranged to draw the viewer's eye across the various textures and forms, from the roughness of the tobacco leaves to the smoothness of the stoneware. Van de Velde's use of chiaroscuro—a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark—enhances the three-dimensionality of the objects and imbues the scene with a sense of intimacy and quietude.

Toebackje is considered an important work within Jan Jansz van de Velde III's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of the evolution of still life painting in the Dutch Golden Age. It remains a subject of study for art historians interested in the period and is appreciated by audiences for its aesthetic qualities and historical significance.
