Keeshondje, draagteken ter ere van Hendrik Danielsz. Hooft, burgemeester van Amsterdam 1789

This small, silver medal, created in 1789 by an anonymous artist, is a commemorative piece honoring Hendrik Danielsz. Hooft, the mayor of Amsterdam. It features a bust portrait of Hooft on one side and a depiction of a Keeshond dog, a breed known for its fluffy white coat, holding a hat on a stick, which was likely Hooft's personal symbol. The medal is a fine example of Dutch commemorative art and is a testament to the respect and admiration held for Hooft during his time as mayor. It is currently part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam.
