This commemorative print by Cornelis Jetses, created in 1898, celebrates the coronation of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. The artwork is a visual tapestry of Dutch history, featuring portraits of previous monarchs in ornate frames flanking a central image of the young queen. Surrounding her are allegorical figures representing the nation's strength and prosperity, symbolized by the prominent Dutch flag and winged figures. Jetses' intricate composition showcases the artist's skill in capturing the grandeur of the event and its significance for the Dutch people. The artwork is a prime example of 19th-century commemorative art and offers insight into Dutch national identity and royal heritage.
