This allegorical print by Jan Gerritsz. Visser commemorates the marriages of Willem V’s children in 1790. The print is a complex composition that features numerous figures, including a winged figure of Fame, a crowned woman, a Roman soldier, and a series of angels, all set before a backdrop of red curtains and a building. This elaborate composition is representative of the allegorical prints common in the Netherlands during the 18th century. The print, now located in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artistic style and political currents of the time.
