Portret van Willem III, prins van Oranje 1749

This etching, created in 1749 by Dutch artist Pieter Tanjé, depicts Willem III, Prince of Orange, in a formal portrait setting. The Prince is shown in an oval frame with his armor prominently displayed, emphasizing his military role. The composition includes symbolic elements like a putto holding a drape, a bird with a scroll, and a cannon, alluding to the Prince's power and influence. This engraving, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a prime example of 18th-century Dutch portraiture.
