"Dood van Neêrlands Koningin. 's Gravenhage den 12 october 1837" is a broadside by Jan Bernardus Ulrich, printed in 1837. The artwork commemorates the death of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. It features a simple black and white print of a building, likely a royal palace, accompanied by a detailed text eulogizing the Queen. The text is a somber and melancholic reflection on her life and legacy, written in the traditional style of Dutch mourning poetry. The artwork serves as a historical document, providing insight into the public response to the Queen's death and the mourning practices of the time. The broadside is now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
