Gerbrandt Jansz van den Eeckhout (Amsterdam, 1621 - Amsterdam, 1674) was a Dutch painter. He was successful in adopting the broader and bolder technique of Rembrandt's mature style, though he seldom approached the master in humanity or depth of feeling. In surprising contrast to his normal Rembrandtesque style are a number of highly finished genre subjects - guardroom scenes, backgammon players, and so on.
