Hugo de Groot at a young age, Although a small sticker with the name Henri IV has been affixed to the back, this is a bust of Hugo de Groot as a 15-year-old young man. He is seen from the right in a three-quarter profile and seated with his right hand in the side, the elbow turned to the viewer. The prodigy Hugo de Groot already had a university degree in 1599: during his stay in France in 1598 he was promoted in law. King Henry IV gave him a medallion on this occasion with a portrait of the king himself, which De Groot is holding in his left hand here. This medallion has probably given rise
Hugo de Groot at a young age, Although a small sticker with the name Henri IV has been affixed to the back, this is a bust of Hugo de Groot as a 15-year-old young man.

King Henry IV gave him a medallion on this occasion with a portrait of the king himself, which De Groot is holding in his left hand here. This medallion has probably given 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, historical persons, Hugo de Groot, Arnoud van Halen, Amsterdam, 1710 - 1719, oil paint (paint), tin (metal), wood (plant material), gilding (material), gilding, h cm × w cm h cm × w cm × d cm
