Medaillonportret van Willem Frederik George Lodewijk (1792-1849), de latere koning Willem II c. 1810 - 1815

This marble medallion, created by an anonymous artist sometime between 1810 and 1815, depicts Willem Frederik George Lodewijk, later King Willem II of the Netherlands. The work is a portrait bust, carved in high relief, showcasing the subject in military uniform. It is a small, intimate work, meant to be held in the hand or displayed in a private collection. This medallion, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the visual culture of the early 19th century, capturing a young Willem II before his ascension to the throne.
