Vertrek van Karel II uit Scheveningen naar Engeland, 1660 1660

This etching by Pieter Hendricksz. Schut, dating to 1660, depicts the departure of Charles II from Scheveningen to England. It is a detailed scene, full of figures, ships, and a distant landscape. Charles II is pictured in a portrait at the top center of the image. This piece, now held in the Rijksmuseum, offers a visual record of a crucial moment in British history. It is a powerful example of 17th-century Dutch printmaking and provides valuable insights into the political and social events of the time.
