EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a striking portrait of Johannes Benedictus van Heutsz, the Governor General of the Dutch East Indies from 1904 to 1909. In this three-quarter length portrait, he is depicted standing with his knee slightly bent and his head turned to the right. Holding a stab in his right hand and a walking stick in his left, Van Heutsz exudes an air of authority and confidence. At the top right corner of the image, we can see the family crest, symbolizing Van Heutsz's lineage and heritage. This particular print is part of a series that showcases portraits of former governors-general who served in the Dutch East Indies during colonial times. Van Heutsz wears a bicorne or bicorn hat as part of his formal attire, further emphasizing his status as a high-ranking colonial governor. The painting was created using oil paint on canvas and measures approximately 141.5 cm in height by 101.08 cm in width. This historical piece provides us with valuable insight into one of the key figures who played a significant role in shaping Dutch colonial rule in Southeast Asia during the early 20th century. It serves as both an artistic representation and an important historical document that sheds light on this period's political and social dynamics within the Dutch East Indies.
