EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this exquisite engraving, we see the distinguished figure of William Bentinck, 1st Earl of Portland. Crafted by the skilled hands of Jacobus Houbraken after an original work by Robert Williams, this print showcases the nobleman's commanding presence and refined features. William Bentinck, a Dutch and English aristocrat, held great influence as a favorite of William Henry, Prince of Orange. His loyalty and service to the prince are evident in his dignified countenance portrayed here. The oval frame emphasizes his regal stature while his meticulously styled wig adds an air of sophistication. Donned in elegant armor that speaks to his status as a member of the aristocracy during the 17th century, Lord Portland exudes both strength and grace. This portrait captures not only his external appearance but also hints at the inner qualities that endeared him to those around him. Preserved within a private collection for generations, this artwork offers us a glimpse into history and invites contemplation on power dynamics and personal alliances during this era. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today. This remarkable piece is part of Du Bois' oeuvre - Simon Du Bois (1632-1708), whose talent for capturing likeness with precision is well-known. With its historical significance and artistic excellence, it stands as a testament to Lord Portland's enduring legacy.
