About this work
Tobacco box with the portraits of Stadtholder Prince William V and his consort, Princess Wilhelmina of Prussia. Silver and glass. Schoonhoven, 1788, by Hendrik Slingeland. The tobacco box was made in the year after William V was restored to his rights as stadtholder. The decoration testifies to the Orangist sentiment of the original owner: between the portraits of the royal couple is an orange tree engraved with the inscription VIVAT ORANIE, and on the underside of the box GROEIEN EN BLOEIEN VAN HET HUYS VAN ORANIE. Gift A.D. Brusse, 1997.
