This anonymous print, *Nederlands verlossing, 1813* (1814), depicts a symbolic scene commemorating the liberation of the Netherlands from French rule in 1813. The central figure, a bust of William I, Prince of Orange, is surrounded by allegorical figures representing victory and freedom. Below, a lion, an anchor, and other symbols evoke the Netherlands. The image is a powerful testament to the spirit of national pride and resilience, capturing the optimism of the time. The print is a fine example of allegorical art in the 19th century.
