Portret van Willem II, prins van Oranje, en Maria Henrietta Stuart 1641

This 1641 engraving, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts Willem II, Prince of Orange, and his wife Maria Henrietta Stuart. The work, created by an anonymous artist, displays the royal couple in a formal portrait format. The scene is set against a backdrop of a cityscape, likely a Dutch city, with a small cupid hovering above. Willem II, dressed in elaborate clothing and holding a sprig of flowers, is positioned on the left, while Maria Henrietta, adorned with pearls and lace, stands on the right. The engraving provides a glimpse into the fashion and grandeur associated with royalty in the Dutch Golden Age.
