This engraving, created by Dutch artist Caspar Jacobsz. Philips between 1752 and 1789, is a memorial to Prince William IV, who died in 1751. The artwork, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, features an elaborate design depicting the Prince's coat of arms within a decorative frame. The intricate details, including the date of death, "OBIIT XIII OCTOBRIS MDCCL," underscore the solemnity of the piece and the importance of remembering the deceased Prince. The engraving is a fine example of the detailed and ornate visual style popular in 18th-century Dutch art.
