About the Item

Exceptional quality oil on canvas portrait painting of a bewigged Dutch statesman in armour having architectural background of ancestral seat with heraldic crest at lower left. Later inscription to the reverse of period relined-canvas giving information of the dignitary: 'Jonkheer Derck van Lynden tot Swaanenburgh geb. 5. Juli 1733, vermahlt 18 May 1756 mit Cath. Lucia Pater gest. 1791. 1776 u. 1784 President d. Holland General-Staaten'. Translating from Dutch to English 'Young Lord Derck of Lynden at Swaanenburgh born July 5th, 1733, married Catherine Lucia Pater May 18th, 1756 and died 1791. From 1776 to 1784 was President of the States General of the Netherlands'. Even though painted circa 1760, he is portrayed in 17th century style, which was a fashionable representation for 18th-century Dutch nobles, suggesting the power of the Dutch Golden Age. Canvas mesures 40.63" wide by 46.25 high and is housed in a contemporary high-quality white lacquered solid wood frame. An exceptional work of dynamic presence.

Portrait of Louis George, Margrave of Baden-Baden, Oil on Canvas, Circa 1725
Located in Kinderhook, NY
A circa 1725 oil on canvas portrait of Louis George Simpert, as Hereditary Prince, the future Margrave of Baden-Baden (Deutsch: Ludwig Georg Simpert, Markgraf von Baden-Baden) portrayed one-quarter length in powdered wig and wearing ceremonial armor and crimson sash newly fitted in a period molded giltwood frame with bead-and-reel inner border from the Eli Wilner collection. Canvas measures 24.5" x 19.25". A related, but later portrait of circa 1735, attributed to the same unknown painter, is held in the collection of Lichtenthal Abbey, Baden-Baden. Biography: Louis George or Ludwig Georg Simpert, Margrave of Baden-Baden, born June 7, 1702 at Ettlingen Palace was the son of Louis William, Margrave of Baden-Baden and his wife, Princess Sibylle of Saxe-Lauenburg. Hereditary Prince of Baden-Baden from birth, at the death of his father in 1707, he succeeded as Margrave of Baden-Baden at the age of four. As such, his mother was regent of Baden-Baden until he reached his majority on 22 October 1727 at the age of 25. He married Maria Anna of Schwarzenberg April 8, 1721 at Český Krumlov Castle. The couple were the parents of four children, of whom only one survived infancy. After the death of the first Maria Anna in 1755, he married the Princess Maria Anna Josepha of Bavaria on July 10, 1755; the daughter of Charles VII, Holy Roman Emperor and his Austrian wife Archduchess Maria Amalia. The second marriage remained childless. Due to his passion for hunting instead of military service, he became known as "Jägerlouis", "hunter Louis", a play on his father's nickname of Türkenlouis ("Turk Louis") due to his famous heroics against the Turkish army at the Siege of Vienna...
