Portrait of the Stadholder William II (1626-1650), half length, wearing armour, lace collar and the badge of the Order of the Garter, in a painted oval

The pose derives from the double portrait of Stadholder Willem II and Mary Stuart, signed and dated 1647, in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (J.R. Judson, R.E.O. Ekkart, Gerrit van Honthorst, 1999, p.237, no.301, fig.186). Judson/Ekkart, op.cit, p.239, nos.16-22A, lists eight versions and copies in which the pose is repeated.
