EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century portrait depicts Abraham van Riebeeck (1653-1713), a prominent Dutch colonial figure who served as the Governor and later Governor General of the Dutch Cape Colony in South Africa from 1679 to 1682 and 1691 to 1700. The portrait, created around the year 1700, showcases Van Riebeeck in an oval-shaped oil painting, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time. He wears a black coat and breeches, accessorized with a white necktie and lace cuffs. His posture is confident and regal, with one hand resting in the coat pocket, while the other hand holds a telescope. The portrait reflects the Dutch East India Company's colonial influence in the Cape Colony and the Low Countries. The intricate details of the painting, including the textures of the fabric and the folds of the clothing, transport us back to the historic era. The portrait is a significant piece of heritage art, showcasing the fashion, industry, and colonialism of the 18th century. This artwork is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of the Dutch East Indies, the Netherlands, or the early days of European colonization in South Africa.
