This etching by Dutch artist Jan Caspar Philips (1700-1775) from 1747 depicts the coronation of Frans I Stefan as Holy Roman Emperor. A scene of the coronation is framed by a decorative border, featuring cherubs and elaborate foliage, echoing the grandeur of the event. The title page of this illustrated book, "Description of the Principal Rejoissances Made at The Hague," commemorates the celebration surrounding the coronation. This intricate engraving is a testament to Philips’ skills and the importance of this historical event for the Dutch people. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
