This 1675 etching by Romeyn de Hooghe, titled *Hertogdom Gelre en graafschap Zutphen opgedragen aan Willem III*, is a celebratory depiction of William III, Prince of Orange, as he accepts the duchy of Gelderland and the county of Zutphen. The artwork, now located in the Rijksmuseum, features two scenes. The top scene depicts William III being presented with the symbolic keys to the duchy and county, while the bottom scene showcases a large gathering of nobles in a stately hall. This intricate work, with its detailed engravings, is a testament to the power and influence of the Dutch Golden Age.
