Portret van Willem II, prins van Oranje 1710 - 1780

This etching by Jacob Houbraken, created between 1710 and 1780, depicts Willem II, Prince of Orange, a significant figure in Dutch history. The portrait is presented in a formal, almost regal style, with Willem II clad in armor, his face resolute and serious. The use of shadow and light adds depth and detail to the etching, highlighting the textures of fabric and metal. This piece is a fine example of 18th-century portraiture, a genre popular for its ability to immortalize prominent individuals and historical events.
