Portret van Willem III, koning der Nederlanden 1849 - 1868

This is a portrait of Willem III, King of the Netherlands, created by Carl Mayer between 1849 and 1868. The engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the King in a formal military uniform adorned with elaborate insignia and a sash. The artist's detailed rendering captures the king's dignified presence and reinforces his royal authority. The small size of the piece suggests it was likely part of a series of prints or a collection of historical figures. This piece offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the Netherlands during the reign of Willem III.
