The HDR inks are sprayed on the canvas layer by layer, with 800 nozzles per colour x 10 channels for a total of 8000 nozzles. This technique guarantees over 100 years of colour permanence. The end result is characterized by great fineness and image depth, very high sharpness, detail and deep colours.

This reproduction on canvas of Portrait of Robert Cheseman by Hans Holbein de Jonge is made in cooperation with the Mauritshuis Museum, where the original painting is hanging. Robert Cheseman, 48 years old, in the year 1533. That's how this man introduces himself through the Latin inscription on his portrait. Cheseman was a powerful noble at the court of the English king Henry VIII. As a great falconer he was responsible for falconry and in that honorary function he had himself portrayed by Hans Holbein. Holbein painted a delicate portrait with a lot of attention for the falcon. A bird with which only the highest nobility was allowed to hunt. He meticulously depicted the bird and hunting equipment. The pattern on the feathers, the glove on which the bird sits and the hood over its head, which kept the animal calm. The brass bell on its claw is painted so precisely that you can almost hear it.
A year before Holbein painted this portrait, he had moved to England from southern Germany for good. His refined portraits made a deep impression on the English nobility and he was soon appointed court painter by the king. This panel was a showpiece in the English royal collection. When the Dutch governor Prince William III was crowned king of England at the end of the 17th century, he took the portrait with him to Holland. Appropriately, he hung it in his hunting lodge near Apeldoorn: Paleis ´t Loo. Together with a large part of the Orange collection, the painting ended up in the Mauritshuis museum at the beginning of the 19th century.
