This miniature portrait depicts Willem IV, Prince of Orange-Nassau, in a detailed, yet delicate manner. Painted in watercolor on ivory by Gerrit Kamphuysen between 1745 and 1772, the artwork captures Willem in a formal pose wearing armor and a sash. The small size and intricate details of the painting are characteristic of miniature portraiture, a popular genre during the 18th century. This piece serves as a historical record of the prince and is a prime example of fine craftsmanship in miniature painting.
