Description

Follower of Sir Godfrey Kneller, German/English 1646-1723- Portrait of William III on horseback; oil on canvas, 125.7 x 100.8 cm. Note: The present work is evidently based on Kneller's portrait of King William III (1650-1702) on horseback, dated 1701, in the Royal Collection [RCIN 403986]. The original commemorates William's return from the Peace of Ryswick in 1697, which marked the conclusion of the Nine Years' War (1688-1697) between France and the Grand Alliance, which included the Dutch Republic and the Holy Roman Empire.
