Portret van Lodewijk Napoleon, koning van Holland 1808

This engraving, created by George Kockers in 1808, is a formal portrait of Louis Bonaparte, King of Holland, as he was during his reign. The artwork showcases Louis in profile, wearing a military uniform and a plumed hat, symbolizing his royal authority. The portrait is surrounded by elaborate details, including a crown, a coat of arms, and a banner with the inscription "KONING VAN HOLLAND" (King of Holland), all contributing to the image's grandeur and power. The presence of a lion and an eagle at the base of the portrait suggests the King's position as a protector of his kingdom. The use of engraving as the medium further contributes to the artwork's classic, official style.
