This 18th-century print by S. & W. Koene depicts Willem V, Prince of Orange, and members of his family. The title translates to "Portrait of His Highness Prince William V, along with (...)," referencing his sons and daughter. The image showcases the family within a decorative archway, a common motif in portraiture. It likely served as a propaganda piece, highlighting the importance of the Dutch royal family for their subjects. The print, measuring 390 mm in height and 327 mm in width, reveals the distinct style of Dutch illustrative art during this era.
