This drawing, "Afscheidsdiner voor koning Karel II van Engeland in het Mauritshuis te Den Haag" by Pieter Philippe, depicts the farewell dinner given to King Charles II of England at the Mauritshuis in The Hague in 1660. The scene is set in a grand hall, with a long table where figures in period clothing are seated. Garlands adorn the room, indicating a festive occasion. The details of the hall and figures provide insight into the events surrounding the Restoration of the English monarchy and Charles II's exile in the Netherlands. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document and a fascinating glimpse into 17th-century European court life.
