About the Item

Jan Adriaensz Leeghwater – Dutch Engineer and Millwright, 19th-Century Lithograph Item Description: This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph portrays Jan Adriaensz Leeghwater, one of the most important hydraulic engineers of the Dutch Golden Age. Born in 1575 in De Rijp, Leeghwater was a millwright, clockmaker, and visionary engineer who played a major role in the land reclamation projects that helped shape the modern Netherlands. He was instrumental in the draining of the Beemster, Schermer, and Purmer lakes using wind-powered technologies. The print depicts Leeghwater seated on a haystack in a rural landscape, with a windmill in the background and laborers at work behind him. He holds a compass and notebook, emphasizing his technical knowledge and engineering skills. His direct gaze and thoughtful expression convey his role as both planner and hands-on innovator. The scene combines historical realism with national pride in Dutch ingenuity. Drawn by Herman ten Kate and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht, this lithograph features fine line work, warm hand-applied color, and a rich sense of atmosphere. It is a compelling tribute to Dutch water management heritage. Details: Subject: Jan Adriaensz Leeghwater, Dutch hydraulic engineer and inventor Date: Circa 1850 Technique: Hand-colored lithograph Artist: Herman ten Kate Printer: P W van de Weijer, Utrecht Condition: Good; fine color and detail, minimal signs of age Printed title below image: Jan Adriaensz Leeghwater Framing Suggestion: This piece works beautifully in a natural wood or dark oak frame with archival matting and UV-protective glass.

Located in Langweer, NL

Gerardus Johannes Vossius – Dutch Humanist Scholar, 19th-Century Lithograph This stately 19th-century hand-colored lithograph depicts Gerardus Johannes Vossius, one of the most respected Dutch humanist scholars and theologians of the seventeenth century. Born in 1577, Vossius became professor of rhetoric, theology, and history at the University of Leiden and later at the Athenaeum Illustre of Amsterdam. He was a prominent figure in the Dutch intellectual world and maintained close correspondence with René Descartes and Hugo Grotius. In this portrait, Vossius is shown in full academic attire, standing confidently in front of a building façade dated 1631. His dignified pose, wide-brimmed hat, and flowing scholar’s cloak convey his status as an erudite and respected figure of the Dutch Golden Age. The architectural detail in the background reinforces the scholarly environment in which he worked. This print was drawn by W F Hoevenaar and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht.

Located in Langweer, NL

Constantijn Huygens – Dutch Golden Age Poet and Statesman, 19th-Century Lithograph This elegant 19th-century hand-colored lithograph features Constantijn Huygens, one of the most influential figures of the Dutch Golden Age. A poet, composer, scholar, diplomat, and secretary to the Princes of Orange, Huygens (1596–1687) was a true Renaissance man whose legacy spans literature, music, and science. He was the father of renowned scientist Christiaan Huygens and a central figure in the intellectual life of the seventeenth century. The print shows Huygens seated at his writing table, dressed in refined period clothing with a cloak draped over his shoulder. He appears relaxed yet engaged, with quill and ink before him and a red wax seal affixed to a document, suggesting his important diplomatic role. The soft light and classical pose highlight his role as both thinker and court official. Drawn by Herman ten Kate, known for his historical and literary subjects, and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht, this lithograph is a wonderful example of 19th-century Dutch revivalist portraiture with hand-applied color.
