This 1674 engraving, created by an anonymous artist, portrays William III, Prince of Orange, on horseback. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts William III in full regalia, emphasizing his status and authority. A scene of the signing of the Treaty of Westminster, signifying the end of the Third Anglo-Dutch War, is included in the lower portion of the image. The composition, typical of equestrian portraits of the time, combines both grandeur and historical significance. This work is a testament to the legacy of William III and the importance of the Treaty of Westminster in shaping European history.
