Historical

Het Fret

The ferret

The veldpaap has named you Het Fret (The ferret).

You must accept the name.

Why this name

Your temperament reads restless and sharp, not cold silence. Het Fret (The ferret) is the historical bentnaam for that weather — quick, probing, hard to keep still. Your temperament and craft put temperament (restless) ahead of vanity.

The historical echo

Bartholomeus Breenbergh (1598–1657), Dutch Italianate landscapist, bore Het Fret (the Ferret). Early Bentvueghel; Rome ~1619–1630, then Amsterdam. Appears in ~1620 group drawings with Poelenburch and others.
