Bring home a commanding portrait of Jan Blanken Jansz., dressed in the distinguished uniform of Inspector-General of Waterworks—its rich oil-on-canvas tones capture the pride of a life spent shaping Dutch waterways. The sitter wears honors from left to right: the Prussian Order of the Red Eagle, the Dutch Order of the Lion, and France’s Legion of Honor. In the distance the Willemssluizen (the William Locks), gateway to the North Holland Canal completed in 1824, recall Blanken’s pivotal engineering legacy. Painted by Jean Augustin Daiwaille (1820–1838), this museum-quality canvas reproduction is gallery-wrapped and ready to hang, perfect for offices or study rooms that favor history and character.
