About this work
This canvas together with six other paintings formed the wall decoration of a room in a palace. The distinguished people in this group are, from left to right: Prince Frederick Henry of Orange, stadholder of Holland, and four other provinces; his wife Amalia of Solms; his cousin Ernest Casimir of Nassau, stadholder of Friesland and Groningen; and Duke Christian of Brunswick. Frederick Henry succeeded his brother Maurice as stadholder and army commander in 1625.
