Steenwyck was prominent in the early annals of New York as Burgomaster, etc., under the Dutch, and Member of the Assembly, Alderman, Member of the Council, and Mayor under the English rule. This picture is supposed to have been painted at Haarlem, Holland, 1667-1668, at which time Steenwyck was visiting his sister, the wife of the artist Van Goosen. It remained for more than a century in the family of Colonel Anthony White, from one of whose descendants--Miss Isabella J. Evans, of New Brunswick, N. J.--it came into the possession of the Society in December, 1882.

The portrait is surmounted by the arms of Steenwyck, and below it is a view of the city of New Amsterdam, from a sketch made about 1656. The head of Steenwyck, No. 265 of this Catalogue, seems to have been copied from this picture.
