About the Item

Set of Three Dutch Naval Portraits – Van der Hulst, Kallenberg, and Sweers, c.1700s A finely engraved set of three 18th-century portrait prints depicting notable Dutch naval commanders of the 17th century, each framed within an oval border and with descriptive captions. From left to right: 1. Abraham van der Hulst – Vice-Admiral of Holland and West Friesland. Van der Hulst (1619–1666) served with distinction in the Dutch fleet during the Anglo-Dutch Wars, noted for his bravery and tactical skill. He died from wounds sustained at the Four Days’ Battle in 1666. 2. Gerard Kallenberg – Lieutenant-Admiral of Holland and West Friesland. Kallenberg was a senior flag officer in the Dutch navy, holding one of the highest ranks in the Admiralty and overseeing significant naval operations during his career. 3. Isaak Sweers – Vice-Admiral of Holland and West Friesland. Sweers (1622–1673) fought in major naval engagements of the Second and Third Anglo-Dutch Wars, earning a reputation as a courageous and skilled commander before being killed in action at the Battle of Texel. These portraits were likely engraved for an illustrated naval history or biographical series on the great admirals of the Dutch Republic. Each is rendered with careful attention to facial detail, costume, and military regalia, including armour, sashes, and lace collars typical of the period. The engravings bear the names of draughtsmen and engravers, attesting to their production quality. Condition report: Very good condition with strong impressions and clean detail. Light toning to paper and minor handling marks consistent with age. Framing tips: This horizontal arrangement is ideal for display in a single panoramic frame with a neutral mat. A black, gilt, or dark wood moulding will complement the historical style of the prints. Technique: Copperplate engraving on laid paper Maker: Various Dutch engravers, c.1700s

Set of Three Signed Sturtevant Serigraphs
By Elaine Sturtevant
Located in NYC, NY
A set of three prints by influential American artist Elaine Sturtevant, studying circular motion and riffing/ripping (depending on your views on copyright) off the works of Robert Rauschenberg, Marcel Duchamp and Alexander Calder. Labelled and Each signed 'Sturtevant' and from an edition of 60. Sturtevant was born in Lakewood, Ohio (USA) and spent the first years of her artistic life working in New York - where in 1956, she began to manually reproduce paintings and objects created by her contemporaries with results that cannot immediately be identified from an original. Sturtevant intentionally turns the concept of originality on its head... All of her works are copies of the works of other artists; none is an original. She initially focused on works by such American artists as Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Jasper Johns, and Andy Warhol. In the late 1960s, she concentrated on replicating works by Joseph Beuys and Duchamp. Since the early 1980s, she has focused on the next generation of artists, including Robert Gober, Anselm Kiefer, Paul McCarthy, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres. She masters painting, sculpture, photography and film in order to produce a full range of copies of her chosen artist's work. In most cases, her decision to start copying an artist happened before those artists achieved broader recognition. Nearly all of the artists she chose to copy are today considered iconic for their time or style. This has given rise to discussions amongst art critics on how it has been possible for Sturtevant to identify these now famous artists at such an early stage. A notable incident in her career emphasizes just *how* technically talented she is at assimilation and reproduction of an artistic style: In 1965 a Jasper Johns flag...
