This allegorical print, created by an anonymous artist in 1837, commemorates the life of Queen Wilhelmina of Prussia. It depicts a central portrait of the queen within a circular frame, surrounded by figures symbolizing her virtues. A winged angel with a cup representing the afterlife, a woman personifying faith with a bible, and a grieving figure mourning her loss are just some of the figures featured. The print is a poignant example of funerary art, capturing the solemnity and reverence associated with the passing of royalty.
