Constantijn Huygens – Dutch Golden Age Poet and Statesman, 19th-Century Litho

About the Item

Constantijn Huygens – Dutch Golden Age Poet and Statesman, 19th-Century Lithograph This elegant 19th-century hand-colored lithograph features Constantijn Huygens, one of the most influential figures of the Dutch Golden Age. A poet, composer, scholar, diplomat, and secretary to the Princes of Orange, Huygens (1596–1687) was a true Renaissance man whose legacy spans literature, music, and science. He was the father of renowned scientist Christiaan Huygens and a central figure in the intellectual life of the seventeenth century. The print shows Huygens seated at his writing table, dressed in refined period clothing with a cloak draped over his shoulder. He appears relaxed yet engaged, with quill and ink before him and a red wax seal affixed to a document, suggesting his important diplomatic role. The soft light and classical pose highlight his role as both thinker and court official. Drawn by Herman ten Kate, known for his historical and literary subjects, and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht, this lithograph is a wonderful example of 19th-century Dutch revivalist portraiture with hand-applied color. Details: - Subject: Constantijn Huygens, Dutch poet and statesman - Date: Circa 1850 - Technique: Hand-colored lithograph - Artist: Herman ten Kate - Printer: P W van de Weijer, Utrecht - Sheet size: [Insert measurements here] - Condition: Excellent; clean impression, strong color, minimal signs of age - Title below image: Constantijn Huijgens Framing Suggestion: Frame with museum-grade matting and UV-protective glass.

Jacob Cats – Dutch Poet and Statesman, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph

Located in Langweer, NL

Jacob Cats – Dutch Poet and Statesman, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph Item Description: This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph portrays Jacob Cats, one of the most beloved poets and moralists of the Dutch Golden Age. Born in 1577, Cats served as a jurist, politician, and Grand Pensionary of Holland, but he is best remembered for his richly illustrated emblem books and rhymed moral teachings that were household staples in the Netherlands for centuries. His work influenced generations of Dutch families and writers alike. Cats is depicted seated at his writing desk, pen in hand, with books and manuscripts surrounding him. His composed yet thoughtful expression, modest attire, and scholarly setting all reflect the dual life he led as both a literary figure and a statesman. The background features shelves of books, a richly patterned tablecloth, and finely detailed textures that emphasize his intellectual world. This lithograph was drawn by W F Hoevenaar and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht. It demonstrates the refined character and quiet dignity often associated with Cats' legacy, rendered with subtle, hand-applied color and careful linework. Details: - Subject: Jacob Cats, Dutch poet, jurist, and statesman - Date: Circa 1850 - Technique: Hand-colored lithograph - Artist: W F Hoevenaar - Printer: P W van de Weijer, Utrecht - Sheet size: [Insert measurements here] - Condition: Good; well-preserved with clear detail and minimal signs of aging - Printed title below image: Jacob Cats Framing Suggestion: Best presented in a classic wooden frame with archival matting and UV-protective glass. A soft ivory or parchment-colored mat will highlight the literary tone of the piece. Shipping: Professionally packed and shipped worldwide from our gallery in the Netherlands.
