Portret van Willem II, koning der Nederlanden Possibly 1840 - 1846

This anonymous engraving, *Portret van Willem II, koning der Nederlanden,* depicts King Willem II of the Netherlands in a military uniform. Dated to around 1840-1846, the portrait is framed by an elaborate decorative border featuring a lion holding a shield, a crown, and a banner with the word "WATERLOO." The image is a symbolic representation of the King's role as protector of the Netherlands, and the image's inscription, "Herinnering aan de bevrijding van Nederlandsch-Oost-Indië," further emphasizes this theme. The print is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
