EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Cornelis Theodorus Elout, a prominent figure in history as the Commissioner General from 1816 to 1819. In this portrait, he is depicted with great authority and dignity. Standing tall with his knee slightly bent, Elout points confidently with his right hand towards a passage in an open book resting on the table before him. Another book titled "Constitution" lies nearby, its spine adorned with intricate stitching. The composition of this artwork is truly remarkable, capturing every detail meticulously. Elout's left hand rests firmly on the hilt of his epee, symbolizing both strength and leadership. At the top right corner of the painting proudly sits his family crest, representing generations of heritage and nobility. This posthumous portrait was created based on earlier depictions by renowned artists Charles Howard Hodges and L. A. Vincent. It forms part of an extraordinary series featuring portraits of governors-general who once governed over the former Dutch East Indies. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to witness a significant historical moment through artistry and craftsmanship. The presence and charisma exuded by Cornelis Theodorus Elout make it evident why he held such a prestigious position as Commissioner General during that era.
