This statue, in the form of a knight on horseback (as protector of financial stability), is below on the rectangular pedestal with name and dates (visible, but covered in photo), and was awarded in 1970.
Original design of the large statue at De Nederlandsche Bank probably early 1970s.
Claus studied at the Graphic School (1949-1952), the National Institute for the Training of Drawing Teachers (1952-1954), and the National Academy of Fine Arts (1955-1960), all in Amsterdam. From 1979 to 1990, he was a professor at the National Academy.
Claus is a representative of contemporary classical sculpture. Since the early 1960s, his work has been installed in public spaces throughout the Netherlands. A recurring motif is the figures from the commedia dell'arte, such as The Lute Player (1981) in Hoogezand. He also created, among other works, the memorial for Willem Drees (1988) in The Hague and the sculpture "Thinking, Looking, and Doing" for the Rabobank headquarters (1990) in Utrecht.
Claus is also a medalist, having designed several coins and medals. One example is the 10 guilder coin featuring Jan Steen (1997). Since 2005, the Colombina, the VSCD award for the best supporting actress of the Dutch theater season, has been designed by him.
During the 2017 Royal Honors Awards, he was appointed Knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion.
