EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases a young boy from the de Ligne family, painted in 1616 by Marcus Gheeraerts. The oil on canvas artwork is one of a pair and measures 93x77 cm. Currently held in a private collection, this piece offers an intriguing glimpse into the lives of possibly Daniel de Ligne's children. Daniel de Ligne, seeking refuge from the persecution of the Duke of Alva, was knighted by James I in 1620 and resided at Harlaxton Manor in Lincolnshire. This historical context adds depth to the image as we contemplate the boy's identity and his place within this noble lineage. The artist expertly captures the essence of youth through delicate brushstrokes and intricate details such as lace cuffs and collar. The boy's expression exudes innocence while his stately posture hints at his future role as heir to this prestigious family. Displayed by Johnny Van Haeften Ltd. London, this remarkable print transports us back to a time when portraits were not only artistic representations but also symbols of power and status. As we admire this work, let us appreciate its timeless beauty that transcends centuries.
