The composition is structured as a composite portrait, a common format in eighteenth-century biographical publications. The primary subject, Cornelis de Bruyn, is presented within an oval frame, accompanied by classical architectural elements such as a column and draped fabric, which suggest a sense of academic gravitas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow this central portrait, the composition includes smaller, secondary depictions of Netscher and van Overbeek. These are arranged alongside artistic tools, including a quill, inkwell, and drawing implements, which serve to identify the subjects by their professional pursuits. The work was executed by the engraver Jacob Houbraken after a design by Aert Schouman, and it appeared in Jan van Gool's biographical work, 'De Nieuwe Schouburg der Nederlantsche kunstschilders en schilderessen'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technical execution demonstrates the precision characteristic of Dutch printmaking during this period. The use of cross-hatching and varied line weights creates a sense of volume in the drapery and depth in the facial features. The inclusion of these specific individuals reflects the interest in documenting the lives and contributions of Dutch artists and intellectuals. By grouping these figures, the print functions as a visual record of the social and professional networks that defined the artistic community in the Netherlands during the eighteenth century. The clarity of the engraving ensures that the individual likenesses remain distinct, while the overall arrangement maintains a balanced, formal aesthetic suitable for a scholarly publication of the era.\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=\"\/it\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" 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;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" 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;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jan van Gool","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58752424542543,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58752505971023,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58752506003791,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58752506036559,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58752506069327,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58752506102095,"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":58752506134863,"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":58752506167631,"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":58752506200399,"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":58752506233167,"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":58752506265935,"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":58752506298703,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portretten-van-Cornelis-de-Bruyn-Theodorus-Netscher-en-Bonaventura-van-Overbeek_Poster_CompositorV1_1789164790816-q80.jpg?v=1792436606"},{"product_id":"landschap-met-vee-jan-van-gool","title":"Landschap met vee - Jan van Gool","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed graphite drawing by Jan van Gool from 1756, depicting a peaceful pastoral scene with cattle and a resting herdsman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis graphite drawing, dated 16 November 1756, captures a quiet pastoral scene typical of the Dutch tradition. Jan van Gool, primarily known as a biographer of Dutch painters, demonstrates a precise hand in this study of livestock. The composition features a group of cattle and goats resting under the shade of mature trees, while a figure reclines on the ground to the right. The artist employs fine, controlled strokes to define the texture of the animals' coats and the foliage above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene is constructed with a focus on natural observation. The animals are arranged across the foreground, creating a sense of calm domesticity. Van Gool uses light shading to suggest volume and form, allowing the animals to emerge from the paper with a soft, tactile quality. The background remains relatively sparse, directing the viewer's attention to the interaction between the herdsman and his animals. The inclusion of the date and the artist's signature at the bottom left provides a clear historical anchor for the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the drawing relies on delicate cross-hatching and subtle tonal variations. The trees frame the upper portion of the image, providing a sense of enclosure that contrasts with the open space beyond. This work reflects the enduring interest in rural life and animal studies that persisted in Dutch art long after the height of the seventeenth century. It is a study of observation, capturing a fleeting moment of rest in the countryside. The lack of heavy contrast ensures the focus remains on the anatomical accuracy of the cattle and the peaceful atmosphere of the setting. This print offers a clear view of the artist's draughtsmanship, preserving the original graphite marks and the paper texture of the period.\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=\"\/it\/products\/melkmeisje-met-drie-koeien-pieter-gerardus-van-os\" 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;\"\u003eMelkmeisje met drie koeien by Pieter Gerardus van Os\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/the-mill-emile-van-marcke\" 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 Mill by Émile van Marcke\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/jan-van-gool\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJan van Gool prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jan van Gool","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805530919247,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805545173327,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805545206095,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58805545238863,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58805545271631,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58805545304399,"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":58805545337167,"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":58805545369935,"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":58805545402703,"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":58805545435471,"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":58805545468239,"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":58805545501007,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/packshot_Poster_1791996745697-q80.jpg?v=1792518282"},{"product_id":"varkens-en-ezels-onder-bomen-jan-van-gool","title":"Varkens en ezels onder bomen - Jan van Gool","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed study of pigs and donkeys resting under trees, rendered in chalk on paper by the Dutch artist Jan van Gool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis study by Jan van Gool captures a quiet pastoral scene, featuring a group of pigs and donkeys resting beneath the shade of trees. Van Gool, a Dutch painter and biographer, was active during the eighteenth century. His work often focused on the depiction of animals, reflecting the tradition of Dutch animalier art that remained popular long after the height of the seventeenth-century masters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawing employs a limited palette, utilising the tone of the paper as a base layer. White chalk highlights define the forms of the animals, providing volume and texture to their coats. The artist uses fine, deliberate lines to suggest the anatomy of the donkeys and the bristly hides of the pigs. The composition is balanced, with the animals arranged in a naturalistic cluster that suggests a moment of stillness in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Gool demonstrates a clear observation of animal behaviour and physical characteristics. The donkeys stand with a sense of alertness, while the pigs are depicted in various states of repose. The trees in the background are rendered with lighter, softer strokes, creating a sense of depth without distracting from the primary subjects. This piece provides a glimpse into the technical approach of a Dutch artist who documented the rural life of his time. The use of blue-grey paper, a common choice for drawings of this period, adds a subtle atmospheric quality to the work, grounding the figures within a cool, shaded environment.
