Set of Nested Cup Weights, Guilliam de Neve (attributed to), c. 1625 - c. 1650
The container with a cover houses ten weights of different dimensions used to weigh silver according to a precise system. The ornamentation near the clasp below the dog’s head displays the – at the time ultra modern – auricular style, which was used primarily for silver objects. The
remaining design and decorations agree entirely with the nesting weights that were produced in the German city of Nuremberg.

Exchange of Fire on the Vaartse Rijn near Jutphaas, Jonas Zeuner, 1787 - 1788
A civil war between Orangists and Patriots raged in the Dutch Republic during 1786 and 1787. In May 1787, the Stadtholder’s army tried to cut off the city of Utrecht, which was in the hands of the Patriots, from the neighbouring Patriot-held province of Holland. The Patriots succeeded in repelling the attack on 9 May. Seen at left are the Stadtholder’s troops and at the right the Utrecht Patriots.

Mercury, , , Willem Danielsz. van Tetrode (copy after), , c. 1565 - before c. 1650
The winged Mercury is one of the most beloved themes in late 16th- and 17th-century bronze sculpture. As the swift messenger of the classical gods he is invariably shown in full flight, balancing only on the toes of one foot. This gave rise to an elegant composition that, in keeping with the aesthetics of Mannerism, afforded an enchanting profile from all angles.

View of Haarlem from the Northwest, with the Bleaching Fields in the Foreground, Jacob Isaacksz van Ruisdael, c. 1650 - c. 1682
Foreigners experience the flat Dutch landscape as having a straight, low horizon extending under a vast sky with billowing cumulus clouds. This is how Ruisdael painted the Haarlem skyline in the distance, recognizable by the high roof of St Bavo’s. Lengths of cloth bleaching in the sun lie at the foot of the dunes in the foreground. The Haarlem linen industry relied on the pure dune water.

Salome with the Head of John the Baptist, Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen, 1524
Salome danced seductively for King Herod, and, as a reward, she was granted a wish. Urged on by her mother Herodias, Salome asked for the head of John the Baptist, who had criticized Herodias’ adultery with the king. Salome is showing us her prize, the saint’s head on a platter.
