Willem V, prins van Oranje-Nassau 1785 - 1795

This silver pendant, made by an anonymous artist between 1785 and 1795, depicts Willem V, Prince of Orange-Nassau. The pendant is oval shaped and features a profile portrait of Willem V within a decorative frame. The pendant is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, and its small size (4.1 cm x 3.2 cm x 2.4 cm) suggests it may have been intended for personal use. This pendant is a testament to the popularity of royal imagery in the late 18th century.
