Portret van Hugo de Groot in lijst 1600 - 1650

This miniature portrait of Hugo de Groot, a prominent Dutch jurist and scholar, is attributed to Clemens Nachtegaal, a Dutch artist active during the 18th century. The artwork, dating back to the 17th century, depicts de Groot in an oval frame, a common practice in miniature portraiture. Despite Nachtegaal's later birth, he could have created this miniature as a copy of an earlier portrait, highlighting the enduring interest in de Groot's legacy. This miniature, a small but significant work of art, offers a glimpse into the historical figures and artistic styles of the Dutch Golden Age.
