EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed writer Jacob Cats at the age of 58, captured in a bust with an exquisite pleated collar and gown. Encased within an elegant oval frame, the portrait is adorned with inscriptions and two Dutch verses, possibly penned by Cats himself. The image portrays a man of intellect and wisdom. Jacob Cats (1577-1660) was known for his significant contributions to Dutch literature during the Golden Age. His works encompassed various genres including poetry, moralistic fables, and emblem books. This portrait captures his essence as a prolific writer. The neck gear worn by Cats in this portrait is a distinguished collar commonly seen in men's clothing during that era. It adds an air of sophistication to his appearance, further emphasizing his status as a prominent figure. Willem Jacobsz Delff is mentioned on the object itself, suggesting that he may have been involved in creating or commissioning this remarkable engraving. Created in Delft in 1636 using paper as its medium, this piece exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship. The Liszt Collection has preserved this extraordinary print for admirers of art and history alike to appreciate Jacob Cats' legacy as one of Holland's most influential writers from the 17th century.
