This etching by Gerard Sibelius, created between 1766 and 1767, depicts a decorative archway erected in Veere, Netherlands, to welcome Willem V. The arch is adorned with garlands of flowers and foliage, surmounted by a heart bearing the motto "Godt Zeker, Oranje," (God Certain, Orange), flanked by Dutch flags. Sibelius's detailed rendering of the archway provides insight into Dutch architectural design and the celebratory customs of the 18th century. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
