Portrait Adriaan Valckenier Governor-General: This stunning print captures the dignified presence of Adriaan Valckenier, a prominent figure in the history of the Dutch East India Company. Standing with authority and confidence, Valckenier is depicted in half-length to the left, his face turned towards us. In his right hand, he holds a command staff, symbolizing his leadership role during his tenure as Governor-General from 1737 to 1741. Resting on a book adorned with the monogram of the VOC (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie), Valckenier's left arm exudes an air of intellectual prowess. The composition is further enriched by intricate details such as the family crest positioned at the top right corner and various coats of arms representing Dutch East Indies, Republic, and Batavia. The background features a ship sailing at sea, alluding to Valckenier's involvement in maritime trade and exploration during this era. This portrait belongs to a series that showcases copies of portraits depicting former governors-general who played significant roles in shaping colonial history. Created between 1750 and 1800 by Theodorus Justinus Rheen or someone inspired by him, this copper-based artwork has been skillfully painted using oil paints. Measuring approximately 34 cm in height, 26.5 cm in width, and 4 cm deep; it serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact.
