EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting by Jacobus Buys, titled "Session of Commissioners to receive the Liberale Gifte," or the "50th penny," depicts a significant moment in Dutch history that took place on September 12, 1747. The scene unfolds in an indoor setting, with a group of men, some seated and others standing, gathered around a table. The room is filled with an air of importance, as documents and papers are spread out before them, and quills and inkpots are at the ready. At the center of the composition, a commissioner, dressed in formal attire, receives a document from a servant. The document, known as the "Liberale Gifte," or "liberal gift," was a tax exemption granted to those who could prove they had attained a certain level of literacy. The woman in the painting, who is leaving the room while reading a piece of paper, may be a representative of the applicants seeking this exemption. The painting's intricate details, from the folds of the clothing to the textures of the documents, showcase Buys' exceptional skill as a watercolor artist. The use of color and light adds depth and dimension to the scene, transporting us back to the 18th century Netherlands. The drawstring hanging from the ceiling may indicate that this was a temporary structure for the commissioners to meet, further emphasizing the importance of this moment in the lives of those seeking educational and financial opportunities.
