This still life artwork depicts three books, likely authored by Cornelis Rudolphus Theodorus Krayenhoff, a Dutch military engineer and author. The open book reveals the title "Handleiding tot het stellen van Bliksen-Afleidors" (Manual for Setting up Lightning Conductors) which indicates that the artwork is a self-portrait of sorts, showcasing Krayenhoff's contributions to the field of engineering. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, dates back to around 1840, a year before Krayenhoff's death. This artwork is a testament to his significant contributions to engineering and its role in Dutch society.
