Kelkglas met een portret van Willem V before 1798

This engraved glass goblet, created before 1798 by an anonymous artist, features a portrait of Willem V, the last Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic. The etching, likely a commemorative piece, showcases the Stadtholder within a laurel wreath and is accompanied by an angel figure. This delicate and intricately detailed work exemplifies the craftsmanship of Dutch glassmaking during the late 18th century. The use of etching and the subject matter highlight the historical and commemorative function of the glass.
