Portrait of William I, King of the Netherlands
After the Battle of Waterloo, William Frederick, prince of Orange-Nassau and son of Stadholder William V, was inaugurated as King William I in 1815. Here he wears the full-dress uniform of a general, with the royal ermine cloak over it. He points to a map of Java in what was then the Dutch East Indies, where the portrait came to hang in the governor’s palace in 1821.
