The portrait follows the conventions of early seventeenth-century printmaking, employing a rigorous system of cross-hatching and parallel lines to define the textures of the subject's doublet and the soft folds of his ruff collar. The artist, Simon onder de Linde, captures the sitter with a direct, unadorned gaze, conveying a sense of gravity appropriate to his status as a burgomaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the upper left corner, a coat of arms is rendered with precision, providing a heraldic marker of the sitter's lineage. The composition is structured around the central figure, whose hand rests firmly at his waist, a pose often associated with leadership and resolve. Below the portrait, a Dutch inscription provides a biographical summary of Muys van Holy's contributions to the city, specifically referencing his role in the defence of Dordrecht and his subsequent political appointments. The text serves as both a eulogy and a historical record, linking the visual image to the specific political climate of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print demonstrates the technical skill required for copperplate engraving, where the depth of tone is achieved through the density of the incised lines. The contrast between the dark, textured clothing and the lighter, more delicate treatment of the face and collar creates a clear hierarchy of visual interest. This work is a representative example of how portraiture was used to solidify the public identity of civic leaders in the Netherlands, combining traditional heraldry with contemporary print techniques to document the lives of those who held power in the burgeoning Dutch Republic.\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=\"\/sv\/products\/title-page-illustrations-of-the-book-of-job-william-blake\" 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;\"\u003eTitle Page, Illustrations of the Book of Job - William Blake — William Blake\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/dwarsdoorsnede-longen-lucas-kilian\" 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;\"\u003eDwarsdoorsnede longen - Lucas Kilian — Lucas Kilian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon onder de Linde","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58747657617743,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58747676098895,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58747676131663,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58747676164431,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58747676197199,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58747676229967,"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":58747676262735,"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":58747676295503,"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":58747676328271,"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":58747676361039,"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":58747676393807,"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":58747676426575,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portret-van-Jacob-Muys-van-Holy_Poster_CompositorV1_1789117761882.jpg?v=1789118379","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/portret-van-jacob-muys-van-holy-simon-onder-de-linde","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
