About this work

In a window to the right Johannes le Franc van Berkhey half-length. Next to him presumably Catharina Mulder, also known as Kaat Mossel. Left on the window sill a doll, representing Willem van Oranje. Below a five-line verse in Dutch. Berkhey had on 8 March 1784 on the occasion of the birthday of Willem V in front of his house on a raft various dolls set up, which were to represent the members of the princely family. Kaat Mossel celebrated the birthday of Willem V in Rotterdam equally enthusiastically.
