EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed portrait of Cornelis van Bynkershoek, a prominent figure in the field of jurisprudence. The bust, skillfully crafted by Cornelis van Bynkershoek himself, is elegantly displayed within an oval frame between two majestic columns. A curtain gracefully drapes on the right side, adding a touch of grandeur to the composition. In the foreground, we are greeted by the personification of justice seated atop a magnificent sphinx. This powerful symbol represents both wisdom and strength, embodying the essence of Van Bynkershoek's contributions to legal theory. On the left side lies a collection of books dedicated to the administration of justice, accompanied by a laurel wreath and an intriguing mirror adorned with a snake coiled around its handle. Below this remarkable portrait rests Van Bynkershoek's weapon and his name inscribed in Latin along with additional information presented in four concise lines. The meticulous attention to detail in this etching captures not only his intellectual prowess but also his profound impact on society. Created in Amsterdam in 1743, this paper print from Liszt Collection serves as an enduring testament to Van Bynkershoek's legacy and contribution to jurisprudence. Its historical significance resonates through symbols and allegories carefully chosen to honor one of history's most influential legal minds.
