EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of youth and intellect in a single portrait. The subject, an eleven-year-old boy, is depicted with an air of studiousness that belies his tender age. Referred to as the youthful portrayal of Hugo Grotius, a renowned Dutch poet and jurist, this image showcases the remarkable potential within young minds. The chalk drawing by Cornelis Visscher, a prominent artist from the Dutch School during the 17th century, beautifully conveys the boy's scholarly appearance. His focused gaze and composed demeanor hint at wisdom beyond his years. It is no wonder that Grotius was hailed as "the Miracle de la Hollande" at just twelve years old. Handed down through generations, this exquisite artwork now finds its place among other masterpieces in prestigious collections such as Albertina. Its publication by Joseph Schönbrunner and Dr. Joseph Meder further solidifies its significance in art history.

This portrait serves as a testament to the power of knowledge and intellectual curiosity that can shape individuals into extraordinary beings.
