This 1842 bronze medal, "Huwelijk van Wilhelmina Sophia Maria Louisa, prinses der Nederlanden met Karel Alexander Augustus Jan, erfgroothertog van Saksen-Weimar-Eisenach", commemorates the marriage of Princess Wilhelmina of the Netherlands to Charles Alexander, the Hereditary Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. The front depicts a winged figure holding a laurel wreath above a cherub who is placing an inscription on a large amphora. The back shows a wreath of roses surrounding an inscription in Latin. The medal, created by David van der Kellen, is a fine example of commemorative medallic art from the 19th century and is held in the Rijksmuseum.
