Jacob van der Zeunen (d. 1680), was a weaver in the guild from 1644 until his death and dean of the craft in 1650 and 1660. He is recorded as having woven the 'Story of Solomon' series of which one set survives at Alcalà di Henares and a further set that survived in the collection of Durini in Milan until the 1870s.
