Koning Willem II (1792-1849) 1844

Jozef Geefs's bronze sculpture "Koning Willem II (1792-1849)" (1844) portrays the King of the Netherlands in a regal pose, standing beside a crown and draped with a fur-lined cloak. The statue captures the king's military bearing, as he is dressed in a military uniform with a sword at his side. This realistic portrayal reflects the Neoclassical style popular during the 19th century, emphasizing accuracy and detail in representing historical figures. The sculpture's modest size (59cm x 29cm x 24cm) suggests it was intended as a personal or commemorative piece rather than a large public monument.
