Bust of King-Stadtholder William III

attributed to De Metaale Pot, c. 1695 - c. 1700

After De Metaale Pot hired a French modeller, it succeeded in becoming the first pottery factory in the Netherlands to produce large sculptural earthenware objects. The modeller’s influence is visible in the way in which the drapery folds around the shoulders of this portrait bust are rendered.
