William III (1817-1890): A Regal Portrait of the Dutch and Luxembourg Monarch This colored engraving showcases the regal presence of King William III of the Netherlands and Grand Duke of Luxembourg. Born in Brussels on December 24, 1817, as the eldest son of King William II, William ascended to the throne following his father's death in 1849. He ruled the Netherlands until his own demise in 1890. In this striking image, King William III is depicted in his grand uniform, adorned with the insignia of his various titles and orders. His beard, which was a common feature among the Orange-Nassau dynasty, adds to his distinguished appearance. The engraving, produced in 1890, captures the monarch in his later years, reflecting the wisdom and experience that came with his long reign. William III's tenure as monarch was marked by significant events in both Dutch and Luxembourgish history. He played a crucial role in the Belgian Revolution, which led to the separation of Belgium from the Netherlands in 1830. Despite this loss, William continued to rule over the remaining territories with dedication and commitment. His reign also saw the expansion of the Dutch colonial empire, particularly in Asia. As Grand Duke of Luxembourg, William III played an essential role in the development of this small European principality. He oversaw its modernization and strengthened its ties with the Netherlands. The monarch's legacy in both countries continues to be celebrated, making this portrait a valuable historical record of an influential and intriguing figure in European history.
