Lot Essay

The ball depicted on this monumental print was hosted by Mary Stuart, Princess of Orange (1662-1694), for her ladies-in-waiting in December 1686 in celebration of the birthday of her husband (and first cousin), Prince William of Orange, then Stadtholder of Holland. With the successful invasion of England, so-called 'Glorious Revolution', they were to become joined sovereigns of England, Scotland and Ireland in February 1689.
Other impressions of this print can be found in the Rijksmuseum, the British Museum and the Royal Collection at Windsor.
