Bust of Jacob van Reygersberg
by VERHULST, Rombout, Marble, height 63 cm
Jacob van Reygersberg (1625-1675) was the regent of Zeeland and an important patron of the sculptor Verhulst. There is a terracotta version in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, which was probably made before the marble, ‘from life’, to serve as the basis for the working model in plaster.
