IntroductIon The presentation of Craeyvanger Family Portraits in the Mauritshuis, 2010-2011. A remarkable suite of portraits was auctioned in Amsterdam in May 2009. The sitters are the Arnhem cloth merchant Willem Craeyvanger, his wife Christine van der Wart, and their eight children (see pp. 7-12, figs. 1-10). They were painted between 1651 and 1658 by Paulus Lesire, Gerard ter Borch and, as only emerged after the sale, by the latter's pupil Caspar Netscher. All ten portraits had been in the family for over 350 years, and were virtually unknown to art historians. Their reappearance caused quite a stir, because a comparable suite consisting of no fewer than ten individual portraits of members of the same family is not known in seventeenth-century Dutch painting. The London art dealer Johnny Van Haeften had the canvases restored after the sale. They were loaned to the Mauritshuis by the present New York owner, The Leiden Collection, from February 2010 to January 2011, where they could be presented to the Dutch public for the first time. The presentation in The Hague also provided the opportunity to investigate the art-historical, technical and genealogical aspects of the pictures. That yielded a wealth of new insights,
