This anonymous engraving, created between 1701 and 1702, depicts the formal reception of the Princess of Savoy by her husband, Philip V of Spain. The scene unfolds in a grand architectural setting, showcasing the couple in the center, surrounded by a multitude of figures, likely representing members of their court and distinguished guests. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a fascinating glimpse into the pageantry and ceremony surrounding royal weddings in the early 18th century, a historical event that shaped the political landscape of Europe.
