Doos met portret van koningin Wilhelmina in Friese klederdracht c. 1892 - 1903

This small, ornate box, created by Dutch artist Cornelis Bernardus Broersma between 1892 and 1903, features a portrait of Queen Wilhelmina in traditional Frisian dress. The silver box, decorated with intricate filigree work, is a miniature example of decorative arts and serves as a commemorative object of Dutch royalty. The image on the lid depicts the Queen in her youth, a popular subject for portraits of the period. The box, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Broersma’s skill in combining artistic craftsmanship with a historical and cultural theme, making it a unique example of Dutch decorative arts.
