This anonymous etching, created in 1691, depicts King Willem III seated at a meeting of the Lower House. The intricate scene shows the king, surrounded by a crowd of attendees, amidst a richly detailed interior. The engraving highlights the grandeur of the event, capturing the atmosphere of a formal political assembly. The inclusion of smaller vignettes depicting the king's life adds depth and context to the main scene. The image, preserved at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the political and social landscape of 17th-century Netherlands.
