EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished portrait of Pieter Gerardus van Overstraten, Governor General of the Dutch East Indies during 1797-1801. The image depicts Van Overstraten seated in a regal manner, his knee slightly bent to the right as he occupies a grand chair. With his right arm gracefully resting on a table and holding a command staff, he exudes authority and power. His left hand is gesturing with eloquence, adding an air of sophistication to his demeanor. The artist skillfully modeled Van Overstraten's facial features after a miniature portrait painted by Joseph Gillis in Batavia. This attention to detail brings forth an exquisite likeness that captures the essence of this historical figure. Part of an esteemed series featuring portraits of former governors-general of the Dutch East Indies, this artwork pays homage to colonial governorship and its significant role in shaping history. Created between 1802 and 1820 by Adriaan de Lelie or someone attributed to him, this copper-based masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 106.5 cm with dimensions measuring 91.5 cm wide and 8.5 cm deep. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness the commanding presence and influential leadership embodied by Pieter Gerardus van Overstraten during his tenure as Governor General.
