EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, created by the skilled hand of Mathias de Sallieth in 1789, showcases Willem V, the Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic and Prince of Orange-Nassau. The Prince is depicted in a full-length pose, standing confidently with his staff leaning against a rock next to his hat. The backdrop includes tents in the distance, suggesting an encampment or military setting. The inscription on the print reads, "Behold the most wicked - Prince - Restored, in hereditary right! By Ally Support! - by royal edict!" Willem V is dressed in the fashionable attire of the 18th century, wearing a frock coat with gold braid, breeches, and a waistcoat. His boots, with their distinctive high, rounded toes and decorative laces, are a testament to the intricate detail of the period's footwear. The Prince's uniform is adorned with a sash and medals, signifying his high rank and military prowess. This hand-colored etching is a significant piece of European art, reflecting the political climate of the time. Willem V's restoration to power was a pivotal moment in Dutch history, and this portrait serves as a visual representation of the event. The image is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on 18th-century European art, fashion, and politics. Mathias de Sallieth's mastery of the etching technique is evident in the intricate details and vibrant colors of the print. The use of watercolor adds depth and texture to the image, making it a stunning work of art that continues to captivate viewers today.
