Portret van Willem V, prins van Oranje-Nassau 1775 - 1791

This small, oval portrait depicts Willem V, Prince of Orange-Nassau, in profile, wearing a military uniform adorned with gold embroidery. Created between 1775 and 1791 by Dutch artist Mathias de Sallieth, the work is an example of 18th-century portraiture. The portrait is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to the lasting legacy of Willem V and the artistry of de Sallieth. The miniature format and detailed rendering of the subject's attire suggest a focus on the sitter's status and importance.
