Pier Pander

Jacobs Pier Pander (20 June 1864 – 6 September 1919) was a Dutch sculptor and designer of medals.

[1] Pander was born in Drachten in the Dutch northern province of Friesland.

In 1885 Pander won the Dutch Prix de Rome for sculpture, but a serious illness disabled him.

He frequently travelled to the Netherlands where he became famous for his design of the portrait of Queen Wilhelmina for a Dutch coin in 1898.

Pander was friends with the Dutch writer Louis Couperus, who lived in Nice and Rome between 1900 and 1915.
