This 19th-century vignette by Isaac Weissenbruch depicts Willem I, King of the Netherlands, in profile. The artwork is framed by nine coats of arms, each representing a different year between 1756 and 1816. The use of a circular composition, paired with the prominent display of coats of arms, is evocative of a traditional heraldic seal. This etching is a powerful example of Dutch historical art, showcasing the influence of the royal family in shaping Dutch history.
