This anonymous drawing depicts the arrival of Willem V and Wilhelmina of Prussia at the Dam square in Amsterdam on 31 May 1768. The scene is dominated by the Stadhuis, the city hall, and the couple's carriage, surrounded by a large crowd of people. The artist captures the grandeur of the event, the architecture of the city and the bustling crowd with remarkable detail. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the history of the city and the royal couple's arrival, a significant event in Amsterdam's history.
