Standbeeld van Willem I, prins van Oranje, op het Plein te Den Haag 1848 - 1871

This is a drawing of a proposed monument to Willem I, Prince of Orange, created by an anonymous artist in 1848-1871. The drawing depicts a statue of the prince standing on a pedestal with inscription and a three-tiered base. Willem I, a prominent historical figure, is portrayed in regal attire with a sword and a dog at his feet, emphasizing his role as a leader and patron of the arts. This design, which is now in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artistic aspirations of the time to honor significant figures through public monuments.
