This print depicts the equestrian statue of Willem I, Prince of Orange, created by an anonymous artist between 1845 and 1853. The statue, mounted on a multi-tiered base, captures Willem I in a regal pose atop a rearing steed. The print's inscription indicates the statue's unveiling on November 17, 1845. This piece offers a glimpse into 19th-century Dutch art, highlighting the nation's commemoration of its historical figures. The statue's design likely draws inspiration from classical and Baroque equestrian monuments, reflecting the enduring influence of these artistic traditions.
