Details

Half-length portrait to the left of Jacob Cats (1577-1660) standing in front of a column. At the bottom in the margin a four-line verse in Dutch. Cats from Zeeland was a Dutch poet, lawyer and politician. Cats is also known under the name of Father Cats, because of his mostly didactic poems. Etching and engraving by Michel Natalis (1610-1668), after the painting by Pieter Dubordieu (c. 1610 - 1678). Made c. 1665. Probably included as a book illustration in Cats' works.
