The work functions as a visual narrative, characteristic of nineteenth-century satirical illustration. It depicts a domestic interior where a seated gentleman, his leg elevated on a stool, receives a series of visitors. These men appear to be candidates for the position of tutor or governor for the boy Jantje, as indicated by the accompanying Dutch text inscribed at the base of the sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Loon employs a fluid, calligraphic line to define the figures and the setting. The composition is structured around the interaction between the seated man and the line of hopeful applicants. The background features framed maritime paintings, which provide a sense of place and social status. The artist captures the expressions of the figures with economy, using quick strokes to suggest the posture and attire of each character. The scene conveys a sense of social observation, typical of the period's interest in domestic life and class dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawing is executed with a light touch, allowing the paper to remain visible and contributing to the sketch-like quality of the work. The text, written in a cursive hand, integrates directly into the composition, serving as both a caption and a narrative device. This piece offers a glimpse into the illustrative practices of the mid-nineteenth century, where drawing served as a primary medium for storytelling and social commentary. The work is preserved in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, reflecting its value as a record of Dutch cultural history and artistic production during the 1860s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-dogs-let-loose-on-the-bull-francisco-jose-de-goya-y-lucientes\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Dogs Let Loose on the Bull - Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes — Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-double-disaster-or-new-cure-for-love-thomas-rowlandson\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Double Disaster or New Cure for Love - Thomas Rowlandson — Thomas Rowlandson\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pieter van Loon","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58414452867407,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58414459421007,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58414459453775,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58414459486543,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58414459519311,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58414459552079,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58414459584847,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58414459617615,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58414459650383,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58414459683151,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58414459715919,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58414459748687,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Verhaal-van-de-jongen-Jantje-nr_Poster_CompositorV1_1786121992556.jpg?v=1786122392"},{"product_id":"untitled-boats-at-nooij-kade-utrecht-pieter-van-loon","title":"Untitled (Boats at Nooij Kade, Utrecht) - Pieter van Loon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed graphite sketch by Pieter van Loon depicting boats moored at the Nooij Kade in Utrecht, dated September 1855.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis graphite sketch by the Dutch artist Pieter van Loon captures a quiet moment of maritime activity at the Nooij Kade in Utrecht. Dated September 1855, the work demonstrates the artist's focus on observational recording, common among nineteenth-century draughtsmen who documented the changing urban and industrial character of the Netherlands. The composition centres on two moored vessels, their masts rising vertically against a sparse background. Van Loon employs a light, economical touch, using quick strokes to define the hulls and the rigging. The presence of figures on the decks and the inclusion of a ladder leaning against the cargo suggest a scene of routine labour rather than a staged picturesque view. The artist's inscription in the lower left corner provides a precise temporal and geographical anchor for the work, typical of the period's interest in topographical accuracy. The paper remains largely unworked, allowing the white space to represent the hazy atmosphere of the canal side. This sketch offers a direct, unadorned glimpse into the mid-nineteenth-century Dutch waterway system, where small-scale transport remained essential to local commerce. The lack of heavy shading or complex tonal modelling keeps the focus on the structural forms of the boats and the linear clarity of the scene.

The artist employs a restrained palette, relying on the interplay between ink lines and subtle wash to define the form of the bird.

The line quality is delicate, suggesting the texture of the feathers through varied pressure and density.

The inclusion of handwritten text in Dutch, both at the top and bottom of the sheet, provides a narrative context, suggesting a humorous or anecdotal interaction between the characters. The title, 'Toujours Galant', adds a layer of irony to the scene, contrasting the polite phrasing with the mundane reality of a shoe repair dispute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe workshop environment is rendered with simple, functional details: a workbench cluttered with tools, a window allowing light to enter, and basic wooden furniture.

This piece is a fine example of the narrative-driven art that was popular in Dutch circles during the late Romantic period, where everyday life was elevated to a subject worthy of artistic attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-dogs-let-loose-on-the-bull-francisco-jose-de-goya-y-lucientes\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Dogs Let Loose on the Bull - Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes — Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/anger-thomas-rowlandson\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAnger - Thomas Rowlandson — Thomas Rowlandson\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pieter van Loon","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58414907097423,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58414910701903,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58414910734671,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58414910767439,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58414910800207,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58414910832975,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58414910865743,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58414910898511,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58414910931279,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58414910964047,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58414910996815,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58414911029583,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Vrouw-bij-schoenlapper_Poster_CompositorV1_1786126984844.jpg?v=1786127186"},{"product_id":"knecht-bij-paard-en-wagen-pieter-van-loon","title":"Knecht bij paard en wagen - Pieter van Loon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA nineteenth-century ink and wash drawing by Pieter van Loon, depicting a farmhand with horses and a cart in a rural Dutch setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ink and wash drawing by the Dutch artist Pieter van Loon depicts a rural scene featuring a farmhand, a pair of horses, and a cart. Dated 1870, the work captures a moment of daily agricultural labour in the nineteenth-century Netherlands. The composition is balanced, with the figures of the men and the horses arranged to guide the viewer across the frame. Van Loon employs a monochromatic palette, using varying densities of wash to create depth and shadow, which provides a sense of volume to the animals and the figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist includes a handwritten inscription at the bottom of the sheet, which adds a narrative layer to the visual representation. The text, written in Dutch, reflects a colloquial exchange between the farmhand and his employer regarding the heavy load the horses are pulling. This inclusion of dialogue is characteristic of the genre tradition, where artists often sought to humanise rural life through anecdotal detail.

The work, titled 'Een domme Jonge' (A Stupid Boy), depicts a seated woman in traditional attire facing a young boy who holds a slate or book. The composition is framed by handwritten Dutch text on either side, which provides a narrative context to the interaction. The left side reads, 'Ja man heeft gelijk gehad, 'tis en blijft een Gans!'

The work features two figures: a seated, older man holding a glass, and a younger man standing at a photographic apparatus. The composition is informal, resembling a sketchbook page or a preparatory study for a larger narrative work. The artist employs a light, gestural line to define the forms, focusing on the expressions of the subjects rather than precise anatomical detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe text inscribed on the page, 'Vaderlijke trotsch' (Paternal pride) and the accompanying caption, adds a layer of social commentary. The caption notes that genius is passed from father to son, observing the younger man working at the machine. This reflects the mid-nineteenth-century fascination with the emerging technology of photography, often referred to as a 'machine' in contemporary parlance. The contrast between the relaxed, perhaps slightly weary father and the focused, industrious son provides a glimpse into the professional and personal dynamics of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Loon, known for his observations of Dutch life, uses this sketch to document the transition of trades and the pride associated with familial succession.

The drawing remains a direct, unadorned record of a specific moment, capturing the intersection of family life and the rapid industrialisation of artistic practices in the late nineteenth century.

The composition is balanced, with the two figures standing in a garden setting, framed by a fence and a building in the background.

The composition depicts a conversation between a schoolmaster, a father, and a young boy. The figures are arranged in an outdoor setting, with a lattice structure and a distant church spire providing context to the social interaction. Van Loon employs a monochromatic palette, using varying densities of wash to define form and shadow, which creates a sense of depth despite the simplicity of the medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe text inscribed on the work provides a satirical commentary on the educational challenges of the period. The schoolmaster addresses the father, a Baron, explaining that the boy is incapable of learning the alphabet, preferring play over study. This type of social observation was common in nineteenth-century Dutch genre art, where artists often used humour to reflect on class dynamics and the realities of daily life. The figures are rendered with a focus on characterisation, capturing the posture and expressions of the three individuals as they engage in this difficult discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Loon, active during the mid-nineteenth century, produced works that often leaned into the anecdotal and the observational. His technique relies on clear, descriptive lines complemented by soft washes, allowing the narrative to remain the primary focus.

This piece is an example of the artist's ability to combine technical skill with a keen eye for human interaction, providing a historical record of social attitudes toward schooling and parental responsibility in the Netherlands during the 1860s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/resting-along-the-trail-william-shayer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eResting Along The Trail - William Shayer — William Shayer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/anger-thomas-rowlandson\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAnger - Thomas Rowlandson — Thomas Rowlandson\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pieter van Loon","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58415295562063,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58415317090639,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58415317123407,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58415317156175,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58415317188943,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58415317221711,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58415317254479,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58415317287247,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58415317320015,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58415317352783,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58415317385551,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58415317418319,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Gedwongen-Schoolverzuim_Poster_CompositorV1_1786132626264.jpg?v=1786132802"},{"product_id":"twee-heren-two-gentlemen-pieter-van-loon","title":"Twee heren (Two Gentlemen) - Pieter van Loon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA nineteenth-century Dutch ink and wash caricature depicting two men in conversation, rendered with fluid lines and expressive characterisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ink and wash drawing by the Dutch artist Pieter van Loon captures a moment of social observation through the medium of caricature. The work depicts two men in profile, facing one another in a dialogue that is framed by handwritten Dutch text. The figure on the left wears a soft, brimmed hat, while the figure on the right is distinguished by a formal top hat and a more pronounced, smiling expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Loon employs a monochromatic palette, using varying densities of brown ink wash to define the forms and create depth. The application of the wash is fluid, allowing for soft transitions between light and shadow, which contrasts with the sharper, more deliberate lines used to outline the facial features and clothing. The composition is focused entirely on the interaction between the two subjects, with the surrounding text acting as a narrative device that provides context to their exchange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch drawings were common in the nineteenth century, often serving as private studies or social commentary. The artist uses the caricature style to exaggerate the physical traits of the men, suggesting a disparity in their social standing or temperament. The ink wash technique provides a sense of immediacy, suggesting that the work was executed with speed and spontaneity. This piece offers a glimpse into the observational habits of the artist, who was known for his interest in the social dynamics of his time. The paper shows signs of age, which contributes to the historical character of the print. It is a study of human expression and social interaction, rendered with a light touch and a keen eye for detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/resting-along-the-trail-william-shayer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eResting Along The Trail - William Shayer — William Shayer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/anger-thomas-rowlandson\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAnger - Thomas Rowlandson — Thomas Rowlandson\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pieter van Loon","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58415353397583,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58415367586127,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58415367618895,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58415367651663,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58415367684431,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58415367717199,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58415367749967,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58415367782735,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58415367815503,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58415367848271,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58415367881039,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58415367913807,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Twee-heren-Two-Gentlemen-_Poster_CompositorV1_1786133261173.jpg?v=1786133364"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/collections\/pieter-van-loon.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
