About the Item

Portrait of Pieter Dirkszoon Hasselaer – Amsterdam Alderman, Tirion 1762 This fine 18th-century engraving depicts Pieter Dirkszoon Hasselaer, an influential figure in Amsterdam's municipal government during the Dutch Golden Age. Hasselaer served as 'schepen' (alderman) and councilor ('raad') of the city of Amsterdam, a role of considerable civic responsibility in the flourishing commercial capital of the Dutch Republic. The portrait is presented in an oval frame resting on a pedestal, emphasizing dignity and classical balance. Hasselaer appears in formal dress, with a wide ruff collar and somber robes typical of the period's civic officials. His facial expression is calm and resolute, reflecting the virtues of leadership, prudence, and public service. Engraved in 1762 by Isac Tirion (1705–1765), a prominent Dutch publisher and engraver, this work likely formed part of a larger historical or civic portrait series commemorating notable Dutch statesmen and citizens. Tirion was known for his historical compendiums and atlases, often accompanied by engraved likenesses of important figures. This plate exemplifies the Dutch Enlightenment’s interest in civic memory and historical record through portraiture. The print would appeal to collectors of Dutch history, Golden Age iconography, and 18th-century engraved portraiture, particularly those with a focus on the cultural and political heritage of Amsterdam. Condition: Very good condition overall. Light toning and minor foxing in the margins, particularly toward the upper edge. Image area clean and strong. Wide margins preserved. Framing tips: A walnut or ebonized frame with a warm ivory mat would bring out the engraved detail while complementing the classical simplicity of the composition. Technique: Etching and engraving Maker: Isac Tirion, Amsterdam, 1762
