專家說明
George Henri Petri worked as a preacher in Zaandam and Amsterdam. He was a prolific writer as well producing texts on both theological subjects and observations on the wonders of nature.
The present lot may have been painted to form part of a famous collection of 350 portraits of Dutch poets, the Panpoeticon Batavum, which was formed by Arnoud van Halen (1673-1732) and Michiel de Roode (1685-1771) in the course of the 18th century. Some of the portraits were assigned to Quinkhard. From this enormous collection, 78 are now in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (see All the Paintings of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Amsterdam, 1976, pp. 723-5). For this portrait of Petri, Quinckhard may have based himself on an older portrait by Gerard ter Borch.
