"Koning Willem I" is a marble bust sculpted by Gilles-Lambert Godecharle in 1815. The bust depicts Willem I, the first King of the Netherlands, in a detailed and lifelike manner. Godecharle, a prominent sculptor of his time, captures the King's likeness and royal bearing with precision. The bust is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to the prominent role King Willem I played in Dutch history. The sculpture is a significant example of neoclassical portraiture and serves as a reminder of the Netherlands' transition to a constitutional monarchy under King Willem I.
