Portret van Willem I Frederik, koning der Nederlanden c. 1815 - 1829

This portrait of Willem I, King of the Netherlands, was created by Italian artist Claudio Linati between 1815 and 1829. The realistic depiction of the king in his royal attire showcases Linati's skill in portraiture. This lithograph, now in the Rijksmuseum, captures Willem I’s stern yet determined expression, reflecting his role as the first monarch of the newly formed Kingdom of the Netherlands. The artwork, measuring 653mm by 510mm, is a testament to the artistic trends of the early 19th century and offers insight into the image of royalty during this period.
