The 3D reconstruction of the library includes the items listed in the inventory, the bookcases (whose presence can be inferred with certainty by the function of this room and by the sources at hand), and a small gathering of curiosities (justified by their presence in the list of items bequeathed to Cornelis, Pieter and Jacoba’s eldest son, and supported by evidence from other private libraries of the time).
It is possible that a (small) table or a lectern were also placed in this room (see for example the small table in front of the window in what is probably the comptoir of the wealthy brewer Job Claesz Gijbland (1572–1638), painted by Frans Pietersz de Grebber in 1611). The list of Cornelis’s items indeed includes pieces of furniture, such as a few tables and chairs, which are often found in depictions of libraries and studios. As already mentioned, the fact that the document gathered items from the boeken kamer, the comptoir and the camer solder all together hampers a clearer subdivision of items amongst these rooms.
