Penning met het portret van Dirk VII en de namen van de graven van Holland 1685 - 1720

This anonymous engraving from the late 17th or early 18th century depicts the portrait of “Frederick VII Comes Hollandiae” or Frederick VII Count of Holland. The circular portrait of Frederick VII is surrounded by a list of the counts of Holland in chronological order. The image is part of a genealogy chart, which displays the names and dates of the rulers of the County of Holland. This type of genealogical chart was a popular form of historical documentation in the 17th and 18th centuries. The use of the “skull and crossbones” symbol around the outer ring of the chart signifies the passing of each ruler.
