About the Item
Jan Pieter Veth (1864 - 1925) was a Dutch portrait painter and academic. During the first two decades of the twentieth century, Veth was one of the most popular portrait painters in the Netherlands and he painted many academics, statesmen, and fellow artists. Although he played with other genres from time to time – he enjoyed landscape and during his student days even studied with Anton Mauve, one of the leading landscapists of the day – his deepest interest was always portraiture. His portraits are closely observed and, somewhat surprisingly in light of his popularity, never sought to flatter but only to portray. To look at one of Veth’s portraits is to feel that the viewer is in the presence of the person himself.

Johan Philip van der Kellen (1831-1906. First director of the Amsterdam Rijksprentenkabinet; connoisseur of prints. In the footsteps of his father and grandfather, die-cutters at the National Mint in Utrecht, Van der Kellen joined the Mint as an apprentice at the age of fifteen, and worked there until 1876. In this period, he began collecting prints on a large scale. In 1859, Christiaan Kramm (1797-1875) listed him in his biography of artists and described his collection of 6,000 prints, including 4,500 prints of Jan and Casper Luyken. In addition to his interest in father and son Luyken, he collected at least one print from nearly every Dutch and Flemish artist, with a view to documenting Dutch and Flemish printmaking from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. As a print expert, he built up a private art library, visited and studied other private collections, and frequently traveled to print rooms abroad.
