Johanna and the Jewish Merchants, Cornelis Troost, 1741
Troost depicted a scene from the popular farce The Spendthrift or the Wasteful Woman. The central character, Johanna, wastes her new expensive finery on two Polish-Jewish traders, portrayed in a stereotypical manner. In reality, they are Johanna’s father and husband, who have disguised themselves in order to expose her. Perched on the chair at the left, amidst a variety of Chinese valuables, is a ring-tailed lemur from Madagascar.

The Adoration of the Shepherds, Rembrandt van Rijn, c. 1657
The adoration of the shepherds has often been depicted in graphic art. Rembrandt’s version is exceptional for the extreme rendering of the nocturnal gloom in the stable. To achieve this velvety darkness, he successively reduced the light in subsequent states. In this impression, he intensified the shadow around Joseph, so that only his book and the faces of Mary and the Christ Child are still illuminated.

Maron in Baglen, anonymous, 1829
This drawing bears rare visual witness to the atrocities committed by the troops under Dutch command during the Java War (1825-1830). Probably drawn by a Dutch officer, the sketch depicts a Javanese village with a Dutch fort. Visible on pikes in the foreground are eight ‘severed heads of mutineers,’ as described in the caption.

Bust of Piet Heyn, Hendrick de Keyser (II) (attributed to), 1636
Piet Heyn became a seaman at a young age. When he was fifteen years old, he was taken prisoner by the Spanish and made to serve two years as a galley slave. After his release, Heyn pursued a career in the merchant marine: he held high-ranking positions in the Dutch West India Company. In 1628 he captured a Spanish treasure fleet (known as the ‘Silver Fleet’) off the coast of Cuba. A year later he perished at sea.
