Getting started with the collection:
Frederica Louise Wilhelmina, Princess of Orange-Nassau (Daughter of William V)
Johann Friedrich August Tischbein (1750-1812), pastel on vellum, c. 1787-1795
Under pressure from fierce opposition to his rule, Stadtholder William V and his family fled The Hague in 1785. They returned two years later and the stadtholder’s authority was restored. This provided the occasion to commission a series of portraits of the members of his family from the portraitist Tischbein. The artist produced a fashionable group of oval portraits in pastel. The giltwood frames were made by the Hague framemaker Hendrik Ebbens.
