Queen Beatrix Opens Exhibition at the Mauritshuis

The Mauritshuis is featuring an exhibition called Dutch Portraits - The Age of Rembrandt and Frans Hals from October 13, 2007 to January 13, 2008. For the official opening on October 11th, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands appeared at the event and viewed the sixty Dutch seventeenth-century portraits that had been gathered from private collections and museums in the United States and Europe.

Notably, the Six family loaned out Rembrandt’s 1654 “Portrait of Jan Six” to the Mauritshuis for the exhibition. The family has never lent out the portrait from their collection until now.
