This 18th-century engraving by Johannes (II) Kannewet depicts King George II of England and his wife, Queen Wilhelmina Charlotte. The couple is shown in separate oval portraits, framed by a decorative wreath. The image, part of a series of portraits of notable figures, exemplifies the popular style of portraiture during the period, focusing on representation and documentation. It's now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offering a glimpse into Dutch art and the fascination with royalty in the 18th century.
