A NEW LIGHT UPON HENDRIK VAN DEVENTER (1651-1724) : IDENTIFICATION AND RECOVERY OF A PORTRAIT
1997
textabstractEarly in 1996, both the artist and the patron of a beautifully
painted portrait by an anonymous painter of the late
seventeenth century were identified. The painting (Figure
1) was compared with works by other portraitists, and a
thorough stylistic analysis by the Netherlands Institute for
Art History finally showed that the portrait displays all the
characteristics of a painting by Thomas van der Wilt (1659-
1733)1. In the autumn of that year the painting was restored
and the signature and the date (1700) were recovered. This
proved that the maker of the portrait was indeed Thomas
van der Wilt.
