EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Adriaen Pauw, a prominent figure in Dutch history. Created by the skilled engraver Paulus Pontius and published in 1706, this artwork captures the essence of Pauw's influential presence. Adriaen Pauw (1585-1653) was an esteemed statesman who represented Holland and West Friesland at the Westphalia Peace Congress. In this portrait, he is depicted wearing the prestigious Holy Roman Empire Order of St Michael, symbolizing his high status and accomplishments. The oval-shaped composition adds a touch of elegance to this aristocratic portrayal. Pauw's coat of arms proudly displayed further emphasizes his noble lineage and position within society during the 17th century. With meticulous attention to detail, Anselmus van Hulle beautifully conveys Pauw's dignified demeanor through intricate engravings. The artist skillfully captures every nuance of expression on Pauw's face, revealing both wisdom and determination. This remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection offers us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also gain insight into one man's significant contributions to Dutch diplomacy during a pivotal period in history. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of Adriaen Pauw's enduring legacy as a respected diplomat and key player in shaping international relations during the seventeenth century.
