"Lijkzang op den dood van Z.M. Willem II, Koning der Nederlanden" is a 1849 artwork by C. ten Hoove, depicting a black cover with silver lettering, announcing a lament for the death of King Willem II of the Netherlands. The typography is classic and dignified, a solemn tribute to the late monarch. The small dimensions, 160 mm by 104 mm, suggest an intimate or personal piece, perhaps a printed pamphlet or a book cover. The artwork serves as a reminder of the historical context and the power of mourning in visual culture.
