This black and white lithograph, created in 1839 by an anonymous artist, depicts the solemn procession of King Willem II of the Netherlands to open the session of the States-General on October 21, 1839. The scene takes place in front of the Binnenhof, the seat of the Dutch Parliament in The Hague, with the King riding a horse towards the building surrounded by dignitaries and crowds.
