Portret van Willem II, koning der Nederlanden 1849 - 1882

This lithograph, created between 1849 and 1882, depicts Willem II, King of the Netherlands, in military garb. Artist Hendrik Wilhelmus Last, who specialized in portraiture, captures the king in a formal, dignified pose, emphasizing his authority. The detailed rendering of the uniform and the king’s serious expression contribute to the overall sense of gravitas and power, characteristic of portraiture during this period. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a prominent Dutch art institution.
