= Arnoud van Halen, a Dutch artist, painted and collected a collection of over 200 portraits of poets. The collection was later bought by Michiel de Roode and Arnoude de Jonghe. Both expanded the collection with another 111 portraits. The work above is a poetic homage to Michiel de Roode and his collection. In 1811 the collection of 350 pieces was auctioned and 77 of them were bought by the Rijksmuseum. The work also contains the bylaws of the society Kunst Wordt Door Arbeid Verkreegen.
