This engraving by Thomas Jan Walter depicts the departure of Prince Willem Frederik from Huis ten Bosch palace in The Hague, Netherlands, on September 6th, 1772. The prince is leaving for his baptism, and the detailed image captures the grandeur of the event, showing the palace, a procession of carriages, and a large crowd of onlookers. The meticulous detail of the print, including the architectural features of the palace and the figures of the attendees, makes it a valuable historical document and a fine example of 18th-century Dutch engraving.
