Willem V (1748-1806), prins van Oranje-Nassau c. 1780

This miniature portrait, created around 1780 by an unknown artist, depicts Willem V (1748-1806), Prince of Orange-Nassau, in profile. The sitter is dressed in a blue uniform with gold embroidery and a white cravat. The portrait is painted in a realistic style, and it is likely to have been commissioned as a personal memento or gift. The miniature's small size, and its ornate gold frame, suggest that it was meant for private viewing. It is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
