Jacob Simonsz de Rijk Secures from Spanish Governor-General Requesens the Release of Marnix van Sint Aldegonde is a 1805 oil by Jan Willem Pieneman, held at Rijksmuseum.
This painting depicts a group of people in a room, with one man in the center holding a piece of paper. He is dressed in brown and appears to be speaking to a man on the right, who is wearing a blue and gold uniform and a hat with feathers. The other figures in the room are watching the scene unfold. The man in the center seems to be negotiating or making a deal, as evidenced by the paper he is holding and the serious expressions on the faces of the other characters. The atmosphere is formal and tense, with a sense of importance surrounding the transaction.
