Product Description

Seemingly a white geometrical shape turns out to be a 17th. century portrait of Cornelis de Graeff once the light is turned on. The idea for this wall light is inspired on
almost forgotten persons from the Amsterdam history but were of great significance for the city. Cornelis de Graeff played was important for the commerce as a viceroy
but also for the bloom of the art as a meacenas and art-collector. He was married to Catharina Hooft. (see white female print)
