Ruiterportret van Willem II, koning der Nederlanden 1856 - 1870

This hand-colored lithograph by Antoine van Genechten depicts Willem II, King of the Netherlands, on horseback. The artwork, created between 1856 and 1870, captures the king in full military regalia, riding a white steed. The image, framed by a decorative border, includes a distant landscape suggestive of a battle scene, perhaps a reference to the Battle of Waterloo. This artwork provides a glimpse into the visual culture of the Netherlands during the reign of King Willem II.
