JAN GERᵈ.
WALDORP.
S.
The final letter S denotes schilder, or painter.
A personalised attendance token of the Amsterdam Guild of St Luke, belonging to the type conventionally dated 1751, with the engraved date 1767.
The name probably refers to Jan Gerard Waldorp (1740–1808), the Dutch painter, draughtsman and etcher who worked in Amsterdam during this period. Waldorp later became associated with the Nationale Kunst-Galerij, a predecessor of the Rijksmuseum. Identification of the named guild member with the artist remains unconfirmed by a guild register.
Type references: Wittop Koning, Amsterdam 12.3; Dirks 9.102. A comparable token with a different personal inscription is preserved in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, inventory KOG-MP-2-1753.
