"Still Life with a Glass of Beer, a Pipe, Tobacco, and Other Requisites of Smoking" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Jansz. van de Velde III. This work exemplifies the still life genre, which flourished in the Netherlands during this period. Van de Velde, born in Haarlem in 1620 and active in Amsterdam, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the texture and materiality of objects.

The painting depicts a carefully arranged scene of smoking paraphernalia, including a half-filled glass of beer, a clay pipe, a pouch of tobacco, and other accessories associated with the act of smoking. The composition is a study in contrasts and textures, with the translucency of the beer glass set against the opaque quality of the pipe and the softness of the tobacco pouch. The artist's skill in rendering different surfaces and materials is evident, as is his ability to capture the play of light and shadow, lending the objects a tangible presence.

As a still life, this painting not only showcases Van de Velde's technical prowess but also offers a glimpse into the cultural practices and daily life of the 17th-century Dutch Republic. The inclusion of smoking requisites reflects the popularity of tobacco in Europe following its introduction from the Americas. Such paintings often carried moralistic overtones, with the ephemeral nature of smoke serving as a metaphor for the transience of life, a theme common in vanitas still lifes of the period.

This particular work by Jan Jansz. van de Velde III is significant for its representation of everyday objects and its contribution to the development of the still life genre in Dutch art. It remains an important example of the artist's oeuvre and the broader cultural context of the time.
