In 1667 Ferdinand Bol painted the portrait of Michiel de Ruyter. It looks like this.
Sometime later, on 3rd March 2009, I took the following photo of Rötger, one of the Germans that I work with.
Rötger has taken a cut out of the painting and pasted it onto his pass. It’s a good enough likeness that he gats away with it on a daily basis. We like that.
Do the clicky thing if you want to see how good the likeness is in more detail.

That's an amazing similarity! Must be relatives.
Well Ponita, the Dutch and Germans share the same blood. Says so in the Dutch national anthem. (Most of them *hate* that.)
