Portret van de staatsman en historicus Guillaume Groen van Prinsterer 1826 - 1886

This portrait of Guillaume Groen van Prinsterer, a Dutch statesman and historian, was created by Dirk Jurriaan Sluyter in 1826-1886. The artwork is a black and white lithograph, a printing technique where an image is transferred from a prepared stone or metal plate to paper, creating a realistic yet stylized depiction of the subject. Groen van Prinsterer is portrayed in formal attire, holding a book, likely reflecting his intellectual pursuits. The portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent Dutch figure.
