EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning portrait of Jan Six, beautifully captured in an oval frame held by the goddess Minerva. The intricate details of this engraving by Jacob Houbraken transport us to Amsterdam during the 18th century. On the right side, a playful putto tenderly strokes the heads of two dogs, adding a touch of charm to the composition. In the background, we glimpse a richly adorned curtain and the emblematic crowned city weapon of Amsterdam with fasces symbolizing strength and unity. The pedestal on which Minerva sits proudly displays Jan Six's family crest alongside a cartouche featuring an eloquent eight-line verse in Latin. The artistry and craftsmanship evident in this piece are truly remarkable. Every line and curve is meticulously engraved on paper, resulting in a mesmerizing visual experience that measures approximately 359 mm in height and 225 mm in width. As we admire this exquisite portrayal, it becomes clear that it represents more than just an individual; it embodies history, culture, and artistic finesse. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any particular company.
