EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Diederik van Durven, who served as Governor General of the Dutch East Indies from 1729 to 1730. Standing confidently and poised halfway at a table adorned with a helmet, he exudes authority and leadership.

This portrait is part of an esteemed series that immortalizes the governors-general of the former Dutch East Indies, highlighting their significant roles in history.

The Dutch East India Company entrusted him with overseeing this important colonial outpost from 1729 to 1736. His influence extended beyond mere governance; he held both military and administrative responsibilities. Painted on panel using oil paint technique, this artwork measures approximately 98.5 cm in height by 80.5 cm in width. It captures Van Durven's essence perfectly - a man of stature who left an indelible mark on the Dutch East Indies' history.
