Hugo de Groot at a young age, Arnoud van Halen, 1710 - 1719 painting Although a small sticker with the name Henri IV has been applied on the back, this is a bust of Hugo de Groot as a 15-year-old young man. He was seen from the right in three -quarters profile and sat with his right hand in the side, the elbow turned to the viewer. The prodigy Hugo de Groot had already had a university study in 1599: during his stay in France in 1598 he was promoted to law. King Henry IV gave him a medallion on this occasion with a portrait of the king himself that De Groot holds here in the left hand. This medallion probably gave rise to the wrong identification. The identification as Hugo de Groot at a younger age is based on a portrait engraving by Jacob de Gheyn (II) from 1599, see Collection Rijksmuseum, RP-P-OB-9953 and on the fact that in early descriptions of the Panpoëticon Batavum there is A portrait of Hugo de Groot at a young age.
