EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished portrait of Matthew de Haan, who served as Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1725 to 1729. The image depicts De Haan in a commanding stance, standing upright with his right hand holding a command staff and his left hand resting at his side. A prominent feature in the top left corner is the family crest, symbolizing De Haan's noble lineage. Part of an esteemed series highlighting the governors-general of the former Dutch East Indies, this portrait captures De Haan's authoritative presence and historical significance. As a colonial governor representing the Dutch East India Company, he played a crucial role in shaping the region's history during his tenure. The artist behind this masterpiece remains anonymous but skillfully employed oil paint on panel to bring out intricate details and lifelike textures. Measuring approximately 101.5 cm in height and 83.5 cm in width, this print preserves an important piece of colonial history. Displayed against a neutral background, this remarkable artwork evokes curiosity about De Haan's leadership style and accomplishments during his time as Governor-General. It serves as both a visual tribute to an influential figure and an invaluable artifact that sheds light on the rich heritage of Batavia (now Jakarta) and its ties to Dutch colonization.
