About the piece
Painted in 1699 by Godfried Schalcken, this grand portrait depicts Stadholder-King William III in full military regalia. The composition utilizes the artist's signature dramatic lighting to highlight the intricate detail of the polished plate armor and the plush texture of the ermine-lined robes, while a naval scene in the distance alludes to the king's maritime power.
