Group Portrait of an Unidentified Board of Governors — Thomas de Keyser

Thomas de Keyser. Painted c. 1625 - c. 1630.

The governors of associations, institutions, and businesses took pride in having themselves portrayed as a group. These three unidentified gentlemen are clearly involved with money and precious objects. On the table before them are a pouch with coins and a beautiful ornate scale for weighing gold and other valuables. The man at the right holds a letter of credit. They may well be bankers.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in Power struggle in the young Republic, 17th Century, Main building.
