"Neerlands vreugdedagen" is a broadside, or printed sheet, created by Barend (III) Koene between 1814 and 1830. It celebrates the marriage of Willem Frederik, Prince of Orange, to Anna Paulowna, the sister of Tsar Alexander I of Russia, and his arrival in the Netherlands in 1816. The image features the couple surrounded by symbolic figures, including a winged female figure holding a torch and two hearts, representing love and unity. The sheet is adorned with verses in Dutch, further expressing the joy and hope surrounding the event. This broadside provides a valuable glimpse into Dutch society during a time of political and social transition.
