contents: This portrait is a lithograph after a painting probably by Nicolaes Maes from 1656. It shows a student in a luxurious, typically Dutch study. The bookcases reach to the ceiling and on the table and on the ground are valuable works, opened. The globe to the right also points to great learning. The dog on the ground to the left is a symbol of friendship or loyalty, but it may also indicate sagacity, an esteemed humanistic virtue.
