EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of Carel Bouman, a prominent tobacco factor and poet in 17th century Amsterdam. The portrait captures Bouman in his element, seated comfortably in his library surrounded by knowledge and literary treasures. With a focused gaze, he momentarily lifts his eyes from an open book to engage with the viewer, inviting us into his world. The composition is enriched by the presence of a grand bookcase adorned with an elegant curtain that adds depth and texture to the scene. This glimpse into Bouman's personal sanctuary reveals not only his passion for literature but also hints at the wealth and sophistication associated with his profession. The artist skillfully employs pastel techniques to bring out subtle nuances in Bouman's features, emphasizing both wisdom and refinement. The delicate strokes on paper beautifully capture every detail, allowing us to appreciate this historical figure's significance within Amsterdam's cultural landscape. This remarkable piece belongs to Cornelis Troost's pastel collection from 1739, showcasing the artist's mastery in capturing personalities through portraiture. It serves as a testament to Bouman’s legacy as both a successful businessman and accomplished poet during this vibrant period of Dutch history
