Laurens Reael – Dutch VOC Governor and Admiral, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph Item Description: This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph features Laurens Reael, a distinguished figure in the early history of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). Born in Amsterdam in 1583, Reael served as Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1616 to 1619 and later became an admiral in the Dutch navy. A humanist and scholar as well as a statesman, Reael was known for his moderate stance and legal-minded approach to colonial administration, which often brought him into conflict with more aggressive VOC policies. In this scene, Reael is seated at a table, holding a document, with another official at his side. A map is partially visible on the wall behind them, suggesting a moment of planning or correspondence related to naval or colonial matters. His elaborate lace collar and thoughtful expression reflect his cultured personality and leadership role. The lithograph was drawn by W F Hoevenaar and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht. The image is rendered with fine detail and soft, hand-applied coloring, capturing a moment of calm reflection in the life of a statesman.
