Sale room notice
We are very grateful to Drs Heleen Vieveen of the Iconografisch Bureau of the RKD, The Hague, for noting that this portrait is of Johan de Witt (1625-1672), Grand Pensionary of Holland. The composition is taken from that of the painting of de Witt by Jan de Baen in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam; the interior in the background represents the assembly hall of the states of Holland and West Friesland.
