Biorklund Barnard's sixth state of six, White and Boon's sixth state of six, Nowell Eusticke's fourth state of six showing the hoizontal lines on the chest immediately below the ruffled collar. According to Nowell Eusticke, an early fourth state impression as issued by H.L. Basan (1807) with the rework of the right curtain outline continued up to the outline of the oval. According to Schwartz, the plate started off rectangular and was cut to the present form and the inscription added in the fourth state. The four Latin verses were added by Hugo Grotius. Hugo Grotius (Huig de Groot, or Hugo de Groot, (1583 –1645) worked as a jurist in the United Provinces (now the Netherlands) and laid the foundations for international law, based on natural law. He was also a philosopher, Christian apologist, playwright, and poet. White and Boon comments that the sitter, Jan Uytenbogaert (1557-1644) was one of the most influential men in Holland up to his exile in 1618. He was chief spokesman of the Arminian Remonstrants at the time of their struggle against Calvinism and also the tudor to Stadholder Frederick Henry. He returned to Holland in 1626 and became a preacher of the Remonstrant Church in Amsterdam, but he never regained his former influence.
