About the piece
This 1849 portrait by Nicolaas Pieneman captures King Willem II of the Netherlands in a moment of heighted royal ceremony. Standing amidst sweeping red velvet drapery and golden regalia, the King is depicted in a dark military uniform heavily decorated with medals, draped in a magnificent ermine-lined mantle that cascades across the floor.
