Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft – Dutch Golden Age Poet, 19th-Century Lithograph This refined 19th-century hand-colored lithograph features Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft, one of the most celebrated literary figures of the Dutch Golden Age.

Classical columns in the background reinforce his connection to humanist ideals and the cultural flowering of the era. Drawn by Herman ten Kate and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht, this lithograph combines subtle color work with fine detail, capturing the spirit of a thinker whose influence endures.

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.

His daring tactics and success made him a national hero and a symbol of Dutch maritime power.

It reflects the pride and drama of 19th-century Dutch historical portraiture, with hand-applied color and strong period detail.

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.

Witte Corneliszoon de With Aboard Ship – 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph
Located in Langweer, NL
Witte Corneliszoon de With Aboard Ship – 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph portrays Witte Corneliszoon de With, a bold and controversial Dutch admiral who served during the Eighty Years' War and the First Anglo-Dutch War. Born in 1599 in Hoogendijk, De With was known for his strict discipline, outspoken character, and bravery in numerous sea battles. He was both a rival and sometime ally of other great Dutch naval commanders such as Maarten Tromp and Michiel de Ruyter. The portrait shows De With seated confidently aboard a warship, with a cannon positioned beside him and rigging sketched in the background. He wears an ornate sash and medallion across his armor, signaling his high rank and distinguished service. A sword rests at his side, and his hat lies nearby, completing the composition of a commanding yet composed figure in the theater of naval warfare. This lithograph was drawn by Herman ten Kate and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht around 1850. The image is lithographed and finished with hand coloring, lending the print subtle texture and depth. The condition is good, with minimal aging, rich tones, and sharp details throughout. Framing suggestion: This historic naval portrait pairs well with a dark wood frame and muted archival matting in navy or grey. Use UV-protective glass to preserve the color and paper quality.
