Bart van Hove's terracotta relief sculpture, *Koningin Wilhelmina (1880-1962)*, depicts the young Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands in profile. Created around 1898, the artwork showcases Van Hove's mastery of sculpting, with detailed features including the queen's delicate facial features and the intricate floral adornment encircling her hair and bodice. The piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artistry of the late 19th century and serves as a testament to the reign of Queen Wilhelmina.
