EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 18th century oil painting, titled "Wernerus Köhne (1725/26-88), Notary of Haarlem, with his Clerk Jan Bosch," was created by the Dutch artist Wybrand Hendriks in 1787. The painting depicts Wernerus Köhne, a notary public from Haarlem, Netherlands, seated at his desk with his clerk, Jan Bosch, standing attentively behind him. The notary is dressed in the formal attire of the time, wearing a long robe and a mortarboard hat, while Jan Bosch wears a simple waistcoat and breeches. The warm color palette of the painting, with its rich browns and reds, adds a sense of depth and warmth to the image. The concept of the painting is a common theme in Dutch 18th century art, showcasing the importance of the notarial profession and the working relationship between a notary and his clerk. Notaries played a crucial role in Dutch society during this period, as they were responsible for the authentication and recording of legal documents, including property transactions, wills, and contracts. This painting is a valuable heritage art piece, showcasing the daily life and work of a notary and his clerk in the Netherlands during the 18th century. It is a testament to the artistic skill of Wybrand Hendriks, who expertly captured the details of the subjects' clothing, the textures of the materials in the room, and the overall atmosphere of the scene. The painting is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it is a popular attraction for visitors interested in Dutch history and art.
