Utrechtse maskerade, plaat d: het hof, 1856 1856

This 1856 lithograph, titled "Utrechtse maskerade, plaat d: het hof," depicts a procession of figures in 17th-century dress, likely representing the court of Willem den Eerste, or William the First, Prince of Orange. The image is part of a series documenting a historical event, providing a glimpse into the pageantry and culture of the Dutch Golden Age. The anonymous artist uses detailed lines and muted colors to create a sense of realism, capturing the formality and grandeur of the occasion. The work is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, a prominent repository of Dutch art and history.
