They dug the foundations, drew the grand plans. But the crown was wanting. It was Margaret Mary, that saintly and humble virgin, who was deputed to place it on its brow.

Portrait of Constantijn Huygens (1596-1687), poet, half-length in oval, wearing a flat-cap and white collar. After a painting at the Rijksmuseum, inv. SK-A-292.Titled above on the oval frame: CONSTANTER.Signed below: Netscher Pinx / A. Blotelingh sculp.[NL] Borstbeeld van Constantijn Huygens (1596-1687) heer van Zuylichem, secretaris van Frederik Hendrik, Willem II en Willem III, en dichter, in ovaal. Naar een schilderij uit de collectie van het Rijksmuseum, SK-A-292.Constantijn Huygens heeft een enorme veelzijdigheid aan de dag gelegd. Niet alleen was hij de trouwe dienaar van drie prinsen, ook was hij een groot dichter, begaafd schilder, componist, musicus en een toegewijd vader. Hij kende zijn talen en zag veel van Europa.Huygens verkeerde in de hoogste bestuurlijke kringen, maar maakte tegelijkertijd ook deel uit van de culturele elite. Hij had een groot aandeel in het ontwerp van zijn eigen huis, was de 'ontdekker' van Rembrandt en onderhield contacten met grote denkers als Spinoza en Descartes. Constantijn Huygens had kortom veel weg van het toenmalige humanistische ideaalbeeld van de homo universalis. Die internationale oriëntatie vinden we ook terug in zijn poëzie, die anders was dan de gedichten die tot dan in Nederland werden geschreven, zoals de gedichten van Cats. Zijn gedichten waren vol dubbelzinnigheden, onverwachte gedachtensprongen en onalledaagse metaforen.Geboren te Den Haag in op 4 september 1596Overleden te Den Haag op 28 maart 1687. Engraving on paper, trimmed within plate mark; total: 224 x 176 mm; state II/2; overall in good condition. Hollstein 22, Muller 2680.          .
