This allegorical engraving, created in 1837 by an unknown artist, commemorates Queen Wilhelmina of Prussia. The central oval portrait of the queen is surrounded by symbolic figures: an angel holding a vase, representing heaven; a woman seated with a book, symbolizing knowledge; a seated woman holding a shield, symbolizing her royal lineage; and a young boy with a bear, perhaps representing her youth. This elaborate composition, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the lasting respect and remembrance of Queen Wilhelmina.
