EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts William IV (1711-1751), the first hereditary Stadtholder of the Netherlands. William was born on August 25, 1711, in The Hague, Netherlands, as the eldest son of Stadtholder William III and Anne, Princess of Orange. He assumed the role of Stadtholder upon his father's death in 1748, ruling over the Dutch Republic until his own demise in 1751. The Stadtholder was a significant political figure in the Netherlands, serving as the military and executive leader of the Dutch Republic. William IV was known for his military prowess and diplomatic skills, which helped maintain the Dutch Republic's position as a major European power. This vertical, upright engraving in black and white captures a portrait of William IV as a mature man, with a serious expression and a well-groomed appearance. He is depicted wearing the traditional Dutch military uniform, complete with a tricorn hat and a sash adorned with the Order of the Golden Fleece. The engraving is a testament to the historical significance of William IV as a Dutchman and a European leader. The engraving is part of the rich historical record of the Netherlands and Europe during the 18th century. It is an essential addition to any collection of portraits, European history, or Dutch history. The intricate details of the engraving bring William IV's image to life, allowing us to connect with the past and gain a deeper understanding of the people and events that shaped Europe's history.
