Portrait of Jan Pietersz Zomer, seated on a studded chair and slightly leaning forward, resting his left arm upon a pedestal. In his right hand, he holds a rolled scroll. Just in front of him, also resting on the pedestal, is a closed book and a picture of the smiling philosopher Democritus. Zomer sits below an arch inscribed with 'Ars Haec / Mea Vita. Jan Pietersz van Zomer (1641–1724) was a Dutch Golden Age engraver and art collector. Hollstein 10, Muller II 5014. Condition: Trimmed through image, and tears to bottom edge. Three small puncture holes to top of image. Trimmed through the pedestal, the print would have originally presented a much larger pedestal, which was inscribed with six lines of Dutch text, as well as the publication information. |
