Petrus Johannes Arendzen - Original Late 19th Century Etching. Signed in pencil lower right. Printed on paper laid on thick panel. With a fixed mount. After the painting by Frans Hals in the Wallace Collection. Engraver and title inscribed on label affixed on reverse of panel. Print Publisher 'Robert Dunthorne'. Signed. Slight discolouration and foxing to mount, but picture is unaffected and is in fine condition.Petrus Johannes Arendzen (1846-1932), married to Epiphania (daughter of Johan Stracké), left his native Amsterdam in 1873 to live in England. He was commissioned by the Dutch Government to copy the very large number of Dutch paintings that were in English collections. It was thought better to reproduce the originals in a different medium, so that the copies had some validity creatively. Petrus had already established himself in Holland as an eminent etcher and engraver; there is a large body of his work held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
