EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures Pieter Mijer, Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1866 to 1871, painted by renowned Dutch artist Jan Hendrik Neuman in 1874. Mijer, born in 1812, is depicted here in formal attire, clad in a richly decorated coat and jacket, adorned with gold and metallic thread embroidery, floral designs, and medals. His attire is complete with a pair of white gloves and a hat, adding to the grandeur of the image. Mijer's facial hair, consisting of mutton chop sideburns, further emphasizes the masculine and authoritative demeanor of the colonial administrator. The painting is an excellent representation of the fashionable clothing of the time, reflecting the imperialistic and colonial influences of the Low Countries during the 19th century. The intricate needlework and attention to detail in the clothing, as well as the use of high-quality fabrics, are evident in this oil on canvas masterpiece by Jan Hendrik Neuman. The portrait is a significant piece of heritage art, offering a glimpse into the past and the role of the Dutch East Indies in colonial history.
