EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a remarkable piece of history, showcasing the portrait of Abraham van Riebeeck (1653-1713), who served as Governor General of the Dutch East Indies from 1709 to 1713. Standing in an oval frame, he is depicted in a half-length pose, facing forward with his right hand holding a command staff and his left hand placed on his chest. This artwork belongs to a series of portraits featuring the governors-general of the former Dutch East Indies, providing us with glimpses into the lives and accomplishments of these historical figures. The canvas painting was created around 1710 by an anonymous artist in Batavia. Abraham van Riebeeck's role as governor general during this period was crucial for maintaining control over the vast territories under Dutch rule. His baton symbolizes his authority as both a military leader and colonial governor within the Dutch East India Company. Measuring approximately 89 cm in height and 80.5 cm in width, this oil painting on cardboard has been preserved meticulously throughout time. It now finds its place among other valuable pieces within the Liszt Collection
